[Eb] [D] Yeah.
I
[Bb] [Eb] took a [Fm] trip on a sailing ship [Bb] and when I reached Jamaica [Eb] I made a stop, but I'm sad
to [Ab] say I'm on my way, [Bb]
[D] [Gm]
[Eb] to say [Ab] I'm on my [Bb]
[Ab] [Gm]
[Eb] way.
Down at the market, [Fm] you can tell ladies [Bb] cry out while [Eb] I'm there.
[Cm] Ackie rice, the [Fm] fish are nice [Bb] and the road is fine
[Cm] Anytime [Eb] a year, but I'm sad to say [Ab] I'm on my way
[Bb] Won't be back [Eb] for many a day
My heart is down, my head is [Ab] turning around
[Bb] Had to leave a little [Eb] piece of town
Sad to say [Ab] I'm on my [Bb] way
Won't be back [Eb] for many a day
My heart is down, [Ab] my head
[Bb] Had to leave a little penny
[Eb] Sounds [Ab] of laughter everywhere
[Bb] And sing girls' praise to [Eb] and fro
I must declare [Ab] my heart is [Bb] there
Though I've been from Maine [Eb] to Mexico
But I'm sad to [Ab] say I'm on my [Fm] [Bb] way
Won't be back [Eb] for many a day
My heart is down, my [Ab] head is turning around
[Bb] Had to leave a little [Eb] girl in Kingston town
Sad to say [Ab] I'm on [Fm] my way
[Bb] Won't be back [Eb] for many a day
My heart is down, [Ab] my head is turning [Fm] around
[Gm]
[Bb] [Eb] [G] Sound the way, [Fm] [Bb] baby [Eb] on the mountain
I took a trip on [Fm] a sailing ship
[Bb] And when I reached Jamaica
[Eb] I made a stop, but I'm sad to [Ab] say I'm on my way
[Bb] Won't be back [Eb] for many a day
My heart is down, my [Ab] head is turning around
Had [Bb] to leave a little [Eb] girl in Kingston town
Sad to say [Ab] I'm on my [Bb] way
Won't be back [Eb] for many a day
My heart is down, my head [Ab] is turning [Fm] around
[Gm] Had [Bb] [Cm] [Eb] to leave
[Fm] [Bb] [N]
