_ Down the way where [A] the nights [Em] are gay and [A] the sun shines dearly [G] on the mountain [D] top
[G] I took a trip on a sailing ship and [A] when I reached Jamaica
[D] I made a stop but I'm sad to say [A] I'm on [E] my way
[A] Won't be back [D] for many a day My heart is down, my [Em] head is turning around
I [A] had to leave a little girl in [D] Kingston town

_ _ [G] Sounds of laughter _ [Em] everywhere and the [A] dancing girls [D] swing to and fro
I must declare [G] my heart is there though [A] I've been from Maine [D] to Mexico
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 head is [Em] turning around I [A] had to leave a little girl in [F#m] Kingston town

_ _ at the market [A] you can hear ladies cry out while on [D] their heads they bear
_ Aki rice, [G] salt fish on ice and [A] the rum is fine [D] any time of year
But I'm sad to say [A] I'm [Em] on my way [A] Won't be back [D] for many a day
My heart is down, my [A] head is [Em] turning around I [A] had to leave a little girl in [D] Kingston town

My heart is down, my [Em] head is turning around I had [A] to leave a little girl in [D] Kingston town
