C F Down the way, where the nights are gay G C And the sun shines daily on the mountain top Am Dm I took a trip on a sailing ship G And when I reached Jamaica C I made a stop
[Chorus]
C F But I'm, sad to say I'm on my way G C Won't be back for many a day Am F My heart is down, my head is spinning around C G C I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town
[Verse 2]
C F Sounds of laughter, everywhere G C And the dancing girls swing to and fro C F I must declare my heart is there G C Though I've been from Maine to Mexico
[Chorus]
C F But I'm, sad to say I'm on my way G C Won't be back for many a day Am F My heart is down, my head is spinning around G C I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town C F Down at the market, you can hear G C Ladies cry out while on their heads they bear C F 'Akey' rice, salt fish are nice G C And the rum is good any time of year
[Chorus]
C F But I'm sad to say I'm on my way G C Won't be back for many a day Am Dm My heart is down, my head is spinning around C G C I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town C F But I'm sad to say I'm on my way G C Won't be back for many a day Am Dm7 My heart is down, my head is spinning around G C I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town...
