(Writer Irving Bergie aka Lord Burgess)

[Verse 1]
C F
Down the way, where the nights are gay
G C
And the sun shines daily on the mountain top
Am Dm
I took a trip on a sailing ship
G
And when I reached Jamaica
C
I made a stop

[Chorus]
C F
But I'm, sad to say I'm on my way
G C
Won't be back for many a day
Am F
My heart is down, my head is spinning around
C G C
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town

[Verse 2]
C F
Sounds of laughter, everywhere
G C
And the dancing girls swing to and fro
C F
I must declare my heart is there
G C
Though I've been from Maine to Mexico

[Chorus]
C F
But I'm, sad to say I'm on my way
G C
Won't be back for many a day
Am F
My heart is down, my head is spinning around
G C
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town

[Instrumentals]
C F G C Am Dm7 G C
C F
Down at the market, you can hear
G C
Ladies cry out while on their heads they bear
