^ADown the way, where the ^Dnights are gay, and the sunshine's ^E7daily on the ^Amountain top.
^AI took a trip on a ^Dsailing ship, and when I ^E7reached Jamaica I ^Amade a stop.
    But I'm ^Asad to say I'm ^Bmon my way.
    ^E7Won't be back for ^Amany a day.
    My ^Aheart is down my head is ^Bmturning around;
    I had to ^Aleave a little ^E7girl in ^AKingston town

Sounds of laughter everywhere, and the dancing girls swing to and fro.
I must declare my heart is there, though I've been from Maine to Mexico.

Down at the market you can hear, ladies cry out while on their heads they bear.
Ackee, rice, salt, fish are nice, and the rum is fine any time o' year.
