Jamaica Farewell

{title: Jamaica Farewell}
{artist: Lord Burgess}
{key: C}

{start_of_verse}
[C]Down the way where the [F]nights are gay,
And the [G]sun shines daily on the [C]mountaintop.
I took a trip on a [F]sailing ship,
But when I [G]reached Jamaica I [C] made a stop.
{end_of_verse}

{start_of_chorus}
But I'm sad to say I'm [Dm]on my way,
[G7]Won't be back for [C]many a day.
My heart is down, my head is [Dm]spinning around;
I had to [G7]leave a little girl in [C]Kingston town.
{end_of_chorus}

{start_of_verse}
[C]Sounds of laughter [F]everywhere,
[G]And the dancing girls swirl [C]to and fro.
I must declare my [F]heart is there,
Though I've [G]been from Maine to [C]Mexico.
{end_of_verse}

{start_of_chorus}
But I'm sad to say I'm [Dm]on my way,
[G7]Won't be back for [C]many a day.
My heart is down, my head is [Dm]spinning around;
[G7]I had to leave a little girl in [C]Kingston town.
{end_of_chorus}

{start_of_verse}
[C]Down at the market [F]you can hear,
Ladies [G]cry out while on their [C]heads they bear,
Akkay rice, salt [F]fish are nice,
And the [G]rum is good any [C]time of year.
{end_of_verse}

{start_of_chorus}
But I'm sad to say I'm [Dm]on my way,
[G7]Won't be back for [C]many a day.
My heart is down, my head is [Dm]spinning around;
[G7]I had to leave a little girl in [C]Kingston town.
