D[A]own the way, where the n[D]ights are gay,
And the s[A]un shines d[E7]aily on the m[A]ountain top,
I took a trip on a s[D]ailing ship,
And when I re[A]ached Ja[E7]maica, I made a s[A]top.
{c:Chorus:}
But I'm s[A]ad to say, I'm [D]on my way,
W[E7]on't be back for m[A]any a day,
My heart is down, my head is t[D]urning around,
I had to l[A]eave a little g[E7]irl in Kingston t[A]own.
Sounds of laughter everywhere,
And the dancing girls sway to and fro,
I must declare, my heart is there,
'Though I've been from Maine to Mexico.
{c:Chorus.}
Down at the market, you can hear,
Ladies cry out while on their heads they bear,
Aki rice, swordfish are nice,
And the rum is fine any time of year.
{c:Chorus.}
#
Down the way where the nights are gay
And the sun shines daily on the mountain top
I took a trip on a sailing ship
And when I reached Jamaica I made a stop
But I'm sad to say I'm on my way
Won't be back for many a day
My heart is down, my head is turning around
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston Town.
Sounds of laughter everywhere
And the dancing girls sway to and fro.
I must declare my heart is there though
I've been from Maine to Mexico.
But I'm sad to say I'm on my way
Won't be back for many a day
My heart is down, my head is turning around
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston Town.
Down at the market you can hear
Ladies cry out while on their heads they bear
'Akey' rice, salt fish are nice
And the rum is fine any time of year
But I'm sad to say I'm on my way
Won't be back for many a day
My heart is down, my head is turning around
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston Town.
My heart is down, my head is turning around
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston Town.
My heart is down, my head is turning around
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston Town.
My heart is down, my head is turning around
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston Town.
