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