Intro 1
(C major) (F major) (C major) (F major)
(C major)
Verse 1
Down the way Where the (F major)
nights are gay
And the (G major) sun shines daily
on the (C major) mountaintop
I took a trip on a sailing (F major) ship
And when I (G major) reached Jamaica I (C major) made a stop
Verse 2
But I'm (C major) sad to say I'm (F major) on my way
(G major) Won't be back for (C major) many a day
My heart is down
My head is (F major) turning around
I had to (G major) leave a little girl in
(C major) Kingston town
Verse 3
Sounds of laughter every (F major) where
And the dan (G major) cing girls swing to and fro
I must declare my (C major) heart is there
Though I've been from (F major)
Maine (G major) to Mexico (C major)
Verse 4
But I'm (C major) sad to say I'm (F major) on my way
(G major) Won't be back for (C major) many a day
My heart is down
My head is (F major) turning around
I had to (G major) leave a little girl
in (C major) Kingston town (A flat major)
Verse 5
(D flat major) Down at the market (G flat major) you can hear
(A flat major) Ladies cry out while (D flat major) on their
heads they bear
Ackee, rice, (G flat major) salt, fish are nice
And the (A flat major) rum is fine any time (D flat major) o' year
Verse 6
But I'm (D flat major) sad to say I'm (G flat major) on my way
(A flat major) Won't be back for (D flat major) many a day
My heart is down
My head is (G flat major) turning around
I had to (A flat major) leave a little girl in (D flat major) Kingston town
Down the way Where the nights are gay
Verse 7
And the sun shines (D flat major)
daily on the
mountaintop
I took a trip on a sailing ship
And when I reached Jamaica
I made a stop
Verse 8
But I'm sad to (G flat major) say I'm on my way
(A flat major) Won't be back for (D flat major) many a day
My heart is down
My head is (G flat major) turning around
I had to (A flat major) leave a little girl in Kingston (D flat major) town
Verse 9
(D flat major) Sad to say I'm (G flat major) on my way
(A flat major) 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.
