[C]

[Verse 1]
On [C]the way where the [F]nights are gray
And the [G]sun shines daily
on the [C]mountaintop
I took a trip on a [F]sailing ship
and when I [G]reached Jamaica
I [C]made a stop but I'm sad to
say I'm [F]on my way
[G]Won't be back for [C]many a day
My heart is down,
my head is [F]spinning [Dm]around
I [F]had to [G]leave a little girl in [C]Kingston town
Out at the market you [F]can hear
ladies [G]cry out while on their
[C]heads they bear
Hockey rice, soft [F]fish are nice
an[Dm]d the ru[G]m is fine
any[F]time [C]out here
But I'm sad to say I'm [F]on my way,
[G]won't be back for [C]many a day
My heart is down,
my head is [F]spinning around
I had to [G]leave a little girl in
[C]Kingston town
Sounds of laughter every[F]where
And the [G]dancing girl swinging [C]to and fro
I must declare my [F]heart is there
[Dm]Though I've [G]been from Maine to [C]Mexico
Oh, but I'm sad to say I'm
[F]on my [Dm]way[F]
[G]Won't be back for man[C]y a day
My heart is down,
my head is [F]spinning around
[Dm]I had to lea[G]ve a little girl in Ki[C]ngston town
[F][Dm][G][C][F][Dm][G][C]
Down at the market, [F]you can hear
[Dm]Ladies [G]try out while on,
their [C]heads stay bare
Hot tea, rice, salty [F]shine ice
An[Dm]d the ru[G]m is fine, any tim[C]e of year
But I'm sad to say I'm
[F]on my [Dm]way
[G]Won't be back for [C]many a day
My heart is down,
my head is [F]spinning [Dm]around
I had to [G]leave my little girl in [C]Kingston town
Sad to say I'm on my way
