[Verse 1]
E A
Down the way where the nights are gay
B E
And the sun shines brightly on the mountaintop
A
I took a trip on a sailing ship
B E
And when I reached Jamaica I made a stop
[Chorus]
E A
I'm sorry to say, I'm on my way
B E
I won't be back for many a day
A
My heart is down, my head is turning around
B E
I had to leave my little girl in Kingston town
[Guitar Solo]
E A B E A B E
A B E A B E
[Verse 2]
E A
Sounds of laughter everywhere
B E
And the dancing girls swingin' to and fro
A
I must declare that my heart is there
B E
Though I've been from Maine to Mexico
[Chorus]
E A
I'm sorry to say, I'm on my way
B E
I won't be back for many a day
A
My heart is down, my head is turning around
B E
I had to leave my little girl in Kingston town
[Outro-Guitar Solo]
