Chords
C F
Down the way where the nights are gay
G7 C
And the sun shines daily on the mountaintop
C F
I took a trip on a sailing ship
G7 C
And when I reached Jamaica I made a stop
Chorus:
C Dm
But I'm sad to say I'm on my way
G7 C
Won't be back for many a day
C Dm
My heart is down my head is turning around
G7 C
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town
C F
Down at the market you can hear
G7 C
Ladies cry out while on their heads they bear
C F
Akee rice salt fish are nice
G7 C
And the rum is fine any time of year
Chorus
C F
Sounds of laughter everywhere
G7 C
And the dancing girls swaying to and fro
C F
I must declare my heart is there
G7 C
Though I've been from Maine to Mexico
Chorus
C F
Down the way where the nights are gay
G7 C
And the sun shines daily on the mountaintop
C F
I took a trip on a sailing ship
G7 C
And when I reached Jamaica I made a stop
