Jamaica Farewell

A                        D
Down the way, where the nights are 
gay,

         A           D        
And the sun shines daily on the 
   A  E7    A
mountain top,

A                   D
I took a trip on a sailing ship,

             A        D        A  
And when I reached Jamaica, I made
 E7  A A
 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  
My heart is down, my head is 
     Dm7
turning around,

           A            E7    
I had to leave a little girl in 
  A
Kingston town.


Sounds of laughter everywhere,
And the dancing girls sway to and 
fro,
I must declare, my heart is there,
Though I've been from Maine to 
Mexico.


Repeat Refrain:


Down at the market, you can hear,
Ladies cry out while on their heads 
they bear,
Aki rice, swordfish are nice,
And the rum is fine any time of 
year.


Repeat Refrain:
