[C] Down the way, [F] where the nights are gay
And [G] the sun shines daily [C] on the mountain top
[C] I took a trip [F] on a sailing ship
And [G] when I reached Jamaica
[C] I made a stop.
[C] But I'm, sad to say [Am] I'm on my way
[G] Won't be back [C] for many a day
My [Am] heart is down, [Dm] my head is spinning around
I [C] had to leave a little [G] girl in Kingston [C] town.
[C] Sounds of laughter, [F] everywhere
And [G] the dancing girls [C] swing to and fro
[C] I must declare my [F] heart is there
Though [G] I've been from [C] Maine to Mexico.
