C
     Down the way
          F
Where the nights are gay
        G                       C
And the sun shines daily on the mountaintop
C                       F
     I took a trip on a sailing ship
           G                 C

I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town
C                   F

C                        F
      Sounds of laughter everywhere
        G                   C
And the dancing girls swing to and fro
C                           F
     I must declare that my heart is there
            G                  C
Though I’ve been from Maine to Mexico

But I’m…

     Down at the market you can hear
       G                      C
Ladies cry out while on their heads they bear
                   F
Ackee, rice, salt, fish are nice
        G               C
