Jamaica Farewell


A                        D                                                 
Down the way, where the nights are gay 
             A           D           A  E7    A 
And the sun shines daily on the mountain top 
A                D                                     
I took a trip on a sailing ship  
                A        D        A   E7  A    
And when I reached Jamaica, I made a stop 
E7       A             D                              
But I'm sad to say, I'm on my way 
         E7             A 
Won't be back for many a day 
     A      A7              D       Dm7                                 
My heart is down, my head is turning around  
          A          E7      A 
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town 
A                      D                                 
Sounds of laughter everywhere 
           A          D          A  E7    A 
And the dancing girls sway to and fro 
A                 D                                          
I must declare, my heart is there 
             A       D      A   E7  A    
Though I've been from Maine to Mexico 
E7       A             D                             
But I'm sad to say, I'm on my way 
    E7               A 
Won't be back for many a day 
    A        A7           D       Dm7                                  
My heart is down, my head is turning around 
           A         E7      A 
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town 
A                     D                                     
Down at the market, you can hear 
         A          D          A  E7    A 
Ladies cry out while on their heads they bear 
A                 D                                    
Aki rice, swordfish are nice  
     A        D        A   E7  A    
And the rum is fine any time of year 
E7       A             D                             
But I'm sad to say, I'm on my way  
      E7               A 
Won't be back for many a day 
    A       A7             D       Dm7                                  
My heart is down, my head is turning around 
        A           E7     A 
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town
