Verse 1
One time I (G major) went down to Jamaica
To a place (D major) called Rose
(G major) Hall Plantation
They grow a (D major) lot of sugar (C major) cane
And toma (G major) toes and things at Rose (D major) Hall
Now it (G major) used to be
Just a sugarcane plantation
(D major) back
In the days of
Slavery (G major) and they tell stories about the
Place and about the great house at Rose
Hall, (D major) that many, many years ago
There came from the country of
Haiti (G major) a lady named Annie
Palmer who lived in that great
House (D major) there (G major) and she
Was the mistress of
the plantation she was
The boss (D major) (G major) her word was law well, they tell
A lot of tales about Annie they say she
Had (D major) three husbands, (G major) one at a time
I guess but they also tell tales about Annie
And the slaves there were about (D major) (G major) 5
000 slaves on the plantation
she had her
Favorites (D major) (G major) and she had the ones
That weren't her favorites well
Down on the sea, (D major) there
Are three tall palm (G major) trees
(D major) Waving in the breeze
And they say that (G major) maybe Annie
Palmer (C major) 's three
Husbands are bur (G major) ied under those

On the (G major) island of (C major) Ja (G major) maica
Quite a (C major) long long time ago (G major)
At Rose Hall (C major) Planta (G major) tion
Where the (A major) ocean breezes blow (D major)
Lived a (G major) girl named (C major) Annie Palmer (G major)
The (C major) mistress of the place (G major)
And the slaves all lived in fear to
See a frown on (D major) Annie's face
(G major)
Verse 3

Where's (C major) number two and three? (G major)

And the (C major) whipping post outside
