C Down the way where the F nights are gay
And the G7 sun shines daily on the C mountain top
I took a trip on a F sailing ship
And when I G7 reached Jamaica I C made a stop
Chorus:
But I’m C sad to say, I’m Dm on my way
G7 Won’t be back for C many a day
My heart is down, my head is Dm turning around
I had to G7 leave a little girl in C Kingston town

Ladies G7 cry out while on their C heads they bare
Ackie rice and salt F fish are nice
And the G7 rum is good any C time of year

But I’m C sad to say, I’m Dm on my way
G7 Won’t be back for C many a day
My heart is down, my head is Dm turning around
I had to G7 leave a little girl in C Kingston town C

And the G7 dancing girls swaying C to and fro
I must declare that my F heart is there
Though I’ve G7 been from Maine to C Mexico

G7 Won’t be back for C many a day
My heart is down, my head is Dm turning around
I had to G7 leave a little girl in C Kingston town C
