Jamaica Farewell

E

[Verse 1]
E                      A
Down the way where the nights are gay
        B                          E
And the sun shines brightly on the mountaintop
                   A
I took a trip on a sailing ship
         B                   E
And when I reached Jamaica I made a stop

[Chorus]
E                     A
I'm sorry to say, I'm on my way
B                   E
I won't be back for many a day
                             A
My heart is down, my head is turning around
         B                       E
I had to leave my little girl in Kingston town

[Verse 2]
E                  A
Sounds of laughter everywhere
        B                      E
And the dancing girls swingin' to and fro
                       A
I must declare that my heart is there
       B                       E
Though I've been from Maine to Mexico

[Chorus]
E                     A
I'm sorry to say, I'm on my way
B                   E
I won't be back for many a day
                             A
My heart is down, my head is turning around
         B                       E
I had to leave my little girl in Kingston town
