[Intro 1]
[A][D][G][A][D][A][D][G][A]
[D]

[Verse 1]
[D]Down the
way where the [G]night's all gay
And the [A]sun shines daily on the [D]mountaintop
I took a trip on a [G]sailing ship
And when I [A]reached
Jamaica, [D]made a stop
But I'm sad to say I'm [Em]on my way
[A]Won't be back for [D]many a day
My heart is down, my head is [Em]turning around
I had to [A]leave a little girl in
[D]Kingston [A]town
[G]She[A] was[G] doing the li[C]mbo[D][G][A]
[C]And [A]when [G]she went [A]un [G]der[A][C]
[D]She took me [A]over
[D]I saw her limbo and g[G]o so low
That my [A]heart said, oh, I [D]went in a trance
I took a chance on this [G]crazy dance
And when I [A]learned to limbo,
[D]found romance
But I'm sad to say I'm [Em]on my way
[A]Won't be back for [D]many a day
My heart is down, my head is [Em]turning around
I had to [A]leave a little girl in
[D]Kingston town
Sing me!
La la la la [G]la la la la [A]la, la la la la [D]la la la
La la la la [G]la la la la [A]la, la la la la [D]la la
But I'm sad to say, I'm [G]on my way
[A]Won't be back for [D]many a day
My heart is down,
my head is [G]turning around
[Em]I had to leave[A] a little girl in
[D]Kingston [A]town
I was do[C]ing [D]the [C]limbo, [D]an [A]d w[G]hen[A] I [C]wen[D]t un der,[A][G]
[C]it [D]was all[A] ove[G]r.[A]
[G]Dow[D]n the way where the nig[G]hts are gay,
and the [A]sun shines daily on the [D]mountaintop,
I took a trip on a [G]sailing ship,
but when I [A]did the limbo, it [D]was a flop,
So I'm sad to say I'm [G]on my way,
[Em]won'[A]t be back for many a d[D]ay
My heart is down,
my head is [G]turning [Em]around I [G]had to [D]leave a little [A]girl in
[D]Kingston town
Sad to say I'm [G]on my way,
[Em]won'[A]t be back for many[D] a day
My heart is down,
my head is [G]turning [Em]around I had to [A]leave a little girl in
