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

[G] Won't be back [C] for many a day
