D                      G
Down the way where the nights are gay

            A                   D
And the sun shines daily on the mountain top

                   G
I took a trip on a sailing ship

           A               D
And when I reach Jamaica I made a stop

                        G
But I'm sad to say, I'm on my way

A                   D
I won't be back for many a day.

                             G
My heart is down, my head is turning around

         A                      D
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town.
[Interlude] D G A G D [Verse 2]
D                  G
Sounds of laughter everywhere

        A                    D
And the dancing girls swaying to and fro

                   G
I must declare, my heart is there

          A                  D
Tho' I've been from Maine to Mexico

                        G
But I'm sad to say, I'm on my way

A                   D
I won't be back for many a day.

                             G
My heart is down, my head is turning around

         A                      D
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town.
[Interlude] D G A G D [Verse 3]
D                  G
Down at the market you can hear

       A                     D
Ladies cry out while on their heads they bear

            G
Ackey rice, salt fish are nice

        A               E
And the rum is fine any time of year

                        G
But I'm sad to say, I'm on my way

A                   D
I won't be back for many a day.

                             G
My heart is down, my head is turning around

         A              G       D
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town.

                        G
But I'm sad to say, I'm on my way

A                   D
I won't be back for many a day.

                             G
My heart is down, my head is turning around

         A                      D
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town.
