Down a way [Bm] where [G] the nights are gay [A] and the sun shines daily [D] on the mountain top
I took a trip [G] on a sailing ship and [A] when I reached Jamaica [D] I made a stop
But I'm sad to say [Em] I'm on my way, [A] won't be back [D] for many a day
My heart is down, my [G] head is turning around, I [D] had to leave a [A] little girl [D] in Kingston town
Down by the market [G] you can hear [A] lady cry out while [D] on their heads they bear
Haki rice [G] or fish on ice [D] and the rum is fine any time of the year
But I'm sad to say [Em] I'm on my way, [A] won't be back [D] for many a day
My heart is down, my [Em] head is turning around, I [D] had to leave a [A] little girl [D] in Kingston town
