[C] [Fm] [Ab]
[Eb] [Bb] [Eb]
Down the way [Fm] where the nights are gay [Bb] and the sun shines daily [Eb] on the mountain top
I took a trip [Fm] on a sailing ship and [Bb] 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 [Fm] head is turning around, I [Bb] had to leave a little girl [Eb] in Kingston town
Down at the [Cm] market [Ab] you can hear [Bb] ladies cry out while on [Eb] their heads they bear
Ackee rice, [Ab] salt fish are nice [Bb] and the rum is fine
I've been gone [Eb] any time a year but I'm sad to [Ab] say I'm on [Fm] my [Bb] way, won't [Gm] be back [Eb] for many a day
My heart is down, my [Ab] head is turning [Fm] around, I [Gm] had to [Bb] leave a little girl in [Eb] Kingston town
Sounds of laughter [Fm] everywhere [Bb] and the dancing girls [Eb] swaying to and fro
I must [Cm] declare my [Ab] heart is there though [Bb] I've been from [Eb] Maine to Mexico

won't be back [Eb] for many a day
