[TURN-AROUND]

[C] Down the way where the [F] nights are gay
And the [G7] sun shines gaily on the [C] mountain top
[C] I took a trip on a [F] sailing ship
And when I [G7] reached Jamaica I [C] made a stop

[LEAD IN] – – – [C] But I’m sad to say, [F] I’m on my way
[G7] Won’t be back for [C] many a day
[TURN-AROUND] – – –  Me [C] heart is down, me head is [F] turning around – – I had to [G7] leave a little girl in [C] Kingston town.  

[C] Down at the market [F] you can hear
Ladies [G7] cry out while on their [C] heads they bear
[C] Akee, rice, salt [F] fish are nice
And the [G7] rum is fine any [C] time of year

[LEAD IN] – – – [TURN-AROUND]

[C] Sounds of laughter [F] everywhere
And the [G7] dancing girls sway [C] to and fro
[C] I must declare my [F] heart is there
Though I’ve [G7] been from Maine to [C] Mexico

[LEAD IN] – – – [TURN-AROUND]
[LEAD IN] – – – [TURN-AROUND]
I had to [G7] leave a little girl in [C] Kings[G7]ton [C] town
