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

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