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