A                        D                                                 
Down the way, where the nights are gay,  
             A           D           A  E7    A 
And the sun shines daily on the mountain top, 
A                   D                                     
I took a trip on a sailing ship,  
                   A        D        A   E7  A    
And when I reached Jamaica, I made a stop. 
E7       A              D                              
But I'm sad to say, I'm on my way,  
           E7                A 
Won't be back for many a day, 
     A        A7              D       Dm7                                 
My heart is down, my head is turning around,  
           A            E7      A 
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town. 
A                        D                                 
Sounds of laughter everywhere,  
            A           D           A  E7    A 
And the dancing girls sway to and fro, 
A                   D                                          
I must declare, my heart is there,  
               A        D        A   E7  A    
Though I've been from Maine to Mexico. 
E7       A              D                             
But I'm sad to say, I'm on my way,  
     E7                A 
Won't be back for many a day, 
     A        A7              D       Dm7                                  
My heart is down, my head is turning around,  
           A            E7      A 
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town. 
A                        D                                     
Down at the market, you can hear,  
           A           D           A  E7    A 
Ladies cry out while on their heads they bear, 
A                   D                                    
Aki rice, swordfish are nice,  
       A        D        A   E7  A    
And the rum is fine any time of year. 
E7       A              D                             
But I'm sad to say, I'm on my way  
        E7                A 
Won't be back for many a day 
     A        A7              D       Dm7                                  
My heart is down, my head is turning around,  
         A            E7      A 
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town
