Down the way where the nights are gay

And the sun shines gaily on the mountain top

I took a trip on a sailing ship
G7

But when I reached Jamaica I made a stop
Dm
But I’m sad to say I’m on my way
G7
C
Won’t be back for many a day
Dm
My heart is down my head is spinning around
G7

I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town
F
Sounds of laughter everywhere
G7

And the dancing girls swaying to and fro
F
I must declare my heart is there
G7

Though I’ve been from Maine to Mexico
F
Down at the market you can hear
G7

Ladies cry out while on their heads they bear
F
Ackee rice salt fish are nice
G7
C
And the rum is good anytime of year
Dm
But I’m sad to say I’m on my way
G7
C
Won’t be back for many a day
Dm
My heart is down my head is spinning around
G7

Won’t be back for many a day
