[Verse]
G                        C                     D7
Down the way where the nights are gay and, the sun shines daily on the 
G
mountaintop.
G                    C                       D7                G
I took a trip on a sailing ship, and when I reached Jamaica I made a stop 
[Chorus]
                        C            D7                G
but I'm sad to say I'm on my way, I won't be back for many a day, my heart 
                     C                       G             D7
is down my head is turning around i had to leave a little girl in 
G
Kingston town
[Verse]
G                       C
Sounds of laughter everywhere,
   D7                    G
And the dancing girls sway to and fro,
G                    C                       D7                G
I must declare, my heart is there. Though I've been from Maine to Mexico.
[Chorus]
                        C            D7                G
but I'm sad to say I'm on my way, I won't be back for many a day, my heart 
                     C                       G             D7
is down my head is turning around i had to leave a little girl in 
G
Kingston town
[Verse]
G                        C
Down at the market, you can hear,
 D7                             G
Ladies cry out while on their heads they bear,
G                    C                       D7                G
Aki rice, swordfish are nice, and the rum is fine any time of year.
[Chorus]
                        C            D7                G
but I'm sad to say I'm on my way, I won't be back for many a day, my heart 
                     C                       G             D7
