Chords with lyrics
D G
Down the way where the nights are gay?
A7 D
And the sun shines daily on the mountain top?
D G
I took a trip on a sailing ship?
A7 D
And when I reached Jamaica I made a stop??
chorus
D G
But I'm sad to say I'm on my way?
A7 D
Won't be back for many a day
D G
?My heart is down, my head is turning around?
A7 D
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town
D-G-A7-D x2
??D G
Sounds of laughter everywhere?
A7 D
And the dancing girls swaying to and fro?
D G
I must declare my heart is there?
A7 D
Though I've been from Maine to Mexico??
D G
??But i'm sad to say I'm on my way?
A7 D
Won't be back for many a day?
D G
My heart is down, my head is turning around?
A7 D
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town??
D-G-A7-D x2
D G
Down at the market you can hear?
A7 D
Ladies cry out while on their heads they bear?
D G
'Akey' rice, salt fish are nice?
A7 D
And the rum is fine any time of year??
D G
But I'm sad to say I'm on my way?
A7 D
Won't be back for many a day?
D G
My heart is down, my head is turning around?
A7 D
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town
D-G-A7-D x2
D G
Down the way where the nights are gay
A7 D
?And the sun shines daily on the mountain top?
D G
I took a trip on a sailing ship?
A7 D
And when I reached Jamaica I made a stop

But I'm sad to say I'm on my way
A7 D
?Won't be back for many a day?

My heart is down, my head is turning around?

I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town??

Won't be back for many a day
