Chords for Oscar Harris - Jamaica Farewell

_ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _
_ [C] _ Down the way [F] where the nights are gay
[G] And the sun shines daily [C] on a mountain top
_ I took a trip [F] on a sailing ship
And [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 [C] down, my [F] head is turning around
I had [G] to leave a little girl [C] in Kingston town
_ Down at a market [F] you can hear
[G] Ladies cry out while on [C] their hats they bear
_ _ Ackie rice, [F] salt fish are nice
[G] But a 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 turning around
I had [G] to leave a little girl [C] in Kingston town
_ [C#] Sounds of laughter [F#] _ everywhere
[G#] And the dancing girls [C#] swing on the floor
I must declare [F#] my heart is there
[G#] Though 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 turning around
I [C#] had to leave a little [G#] girl in Kingston town
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 turning around
I [G#] had to leave a little girl [C#] in Kingston town
_ Sad to say [F#] I'm on my way
[G#] _ Won't be back [C#] for many a day _
