Down the way where the nights are gay
D A7 Dand the sun shines daily in the mountain top
GI took a trip on a sailing ship
and when I reached Jamaica I made a stop
G A7 DBut I'm said to say I'm on my way won't be back for many a day
GMy heart is down My head is turning around
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston Town
Sounds of laughter ev'ry where
D A7 Dand the dancing girls swayin' to and fro
GI must declare my heart is there
tho I've been from Maine to Mexico
G A7 DBut I'm said to say I'm on my way won't be back for many a day
GMy heart is down My head is turning around
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston Town
Down at the market you can hear
D A7 Dladies cry out while on their heads they wear
GAckey rice salt fish are nice
and the rum is fine any time of year
G A7 DBut I'm said to say I'm on my way won't be back for many a day
GMy heart is down My head is turning around
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston Town
