Jamaica farewel

       A D 
       Down the way where the nights are gay 
       A E A 
       And the sunshine daily on the mountain top 
       D 
       I took a trip on a sailing ship 
       A E A 
       And when I reached Jamaica I made a stop 

       D E7 
       But I'm sad to say I'm on my way 
       A 
       Won't be back for many a day 
       D 
       My heart is down, my head is turning around 
       A E A 
       I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town 

       D 
       Sounds of laughter everywhere 
       A E A 
       And the dancing girl swaying to and fro' 
       D 
       I must declare my heart is there 
       A E A 
       Though I've been from Main to Mexico 
       (repeat *) 

       D 
       Down at the market you can hear 
       A E7 A 
       Ladies cry out while on their heads they bare 
       D 
       Aki rice, salt fish are nice 
       A E7 A 
       And the sun is fine any time of year 
       (repeat *)
