Harry Belafonte - Jamaica farewell

^D Down the way where the^G nights are gay
 And the ^A7sun shines daily on the ^Dmountain top
 ^D I took a trip on a ^Gsailing ship
 And when I ^A7reached Jamaica I ^Dmade a stop



But I'm ^Dsad to say I'm ^Gon my way
 ^A7 Won't be back for ^Dmany a day 
My^D heart is down, my head is^G turning around
 I had to ^A7leave a little girl in ^DKingston town

And the ^A7dancing girls swaying ^Dto and fro
 ^DI must declare my ^Gheart is there
 Though I've ^A7been from Maine to ^DMexico





But i^D'm sad to say I'^Gm on my way
 ^A7Won't be back for ^Dmany a day
 My h^Deart is down, my head is ^Gturning around
 I had to ^A7leave a little girl in ^DKingston town



^DDown at the market ^Gyou can hear
 ^A7Ladies cry out while on their ^Dheads they bear
 ^D'Akey' rice, salt f^Gish are nice
 ^A7And the rum is fine any ^Dtime of year



But I'm ^Dsad to say I'm ^Gon my way
 ^A7Won't be back f^Dor many a day
 My h^Deart is down, my ^Ghead is turning around
 I had to l^A7eave a little girl in ^DKingston town

^DDown the way where the ^Gnights are gay 
And^A7 the sun shines daily on ^Dthe mountain top
 ^DI took a trip on a ^Gsailing ship
 And when I ^A7reached Jamaica I m^Dade a stop

But I'm ^Dsad to say I'm^G on my way ^A7
Won't be back for^D many a day
 My ^Dheart is down, my head is t^Gurning around
 I had to ^A7leave a little girl in ^DKingston town



^Dsad to say I'm ^Gon my way
 ^A7Won't be back for m^Dany a day 
My ^Dheart is down, my head is t^Gurning around
 I had to l^A7eave a little girl in ^DKingston town
