_ _ Down the way [F] where the nights are gay and [G] the sun shines gaily [C] on the mountain top
_ I took a trip [F] on a sailing ship but [G] when I reached Jamaica [C] I made a stop
But I'm sad to say [F] I'm on my way, [G] _ won't be back [C] for many a day
My heart is down, my [F] head is spinning around, I [G] had to leave a little girl [C] in Kingston town
_ _ _ _ _ Sounds of laughter [F] _ everywhere and [G] the dancing girls [C] swinging to and fro
_ I must declare [F] my heart is there though [G] I've been from Maine [C] to Mexico
But I'm sad to say [F] I'm on my way, [G] _ won't be back [C] for many a day
My heart is down, my [F] head is spinning around, I [G] had to leave a little girl [C] in Kingston town _ _ _

_ [C] _ _ _ _ Down at the market [F] you can hear [G] ladies cry out while on [C] their heads they bear
_ Hockey, rice, [F] salt fish are nice and [G] the rum is good [C] any time of year
But I'm sad to say [F] I'm on my way, _ [G] won't be back [C] for many a day
My heart is down, my [F] head is spinning around, I had [G] to leave a little girl [C] in Kingston town _ _ _
