[Verse]
D           
Down the way
G                       
Where the nights are gay
A7                 D                       
And the sun shines daily on the mountaintop
              G                
I took a trip on a sailing ship
    A7             D                    
And when I reached Jamaica I made a stop
               G             A7 
But I'm sad to say I'm on my way
              D             
Won't be back for many a day
   D            
My heart is down
G                        
My head is turning around
  D                                          
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town

[Verse]
                   G         
Sounds of laughter everywhere
        A7            D               
And the dancing girls swing to and fro
                  G             
I must declare my heart is there
            A7                 D     
Though I've been from Maine to Mexico
    D                           
But I'm sad to say I'm on my way
A7                D         
Won't be back for many a day
   D            
My heart is down
           G             
My head is turning around
         A7                     D

[Verse]
                   G           
Down at the market you can hear
A7                            D              
Ladies cry out while on their heads they bear
           G                
Ackee rice saltfish are nice
        A7              D           
And the rum is fine any time of year
                   G         Em7
But I'm sad to say I'm on my way
A7                   D         
■  Won't be back for many a day
   D            
My heart is down
           G

         A7                     D
