Jamaica Farewell chords by Patti Page

A                        D
Down the way, where the nights are gay,
             A           D           A  E7    A
And the sun shines daily on the mountain top,
A                   D
I took a trip on a sailing ship,
                   A        D        A   E7  A
And when I reached Jamaica, I made a stop.
E7       A              D
But I'm sad to say, I'm on my way,
           E7                A
Won't be back for many a day,
     A        A7              D       Dm7
My heart is down, my head is turning around,
           A            E7      A
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town.
A                        D
Sounds of laughter everywhere,
            A           D           A  E7    A
And the dancing girls sway to and fro,
A                   D
I must declare, my heart is there,
               A        D        A   E7  A
Though I've been from Maine to Mexico.
E7       A              D
But I'm sad to say, I'm on my way,
     E7                A
Won't be back for many a day,
     A        A7              D       Dm7
My heart is down, my head is turning around,
           A            E7      A
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town.
A                        D
Down at the market, you can hear,
           A           D           A  E7    A
Ladies cry out while on their heads they bear,
A                   D
Aki rice, swordfish are nice,
       A        D        A   E7  A
And the rum is fine any time of year.
E7       A              D
But I'm sad to say, I'm on my way
        E7                A
Won't be back for many a day
     A        A7              D       Dm7
My heart is down, my head is turning around,
         A            E7      A
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town
