Durham Town

I've got to leave old Durham town
 I've got to leave old Durham town
 I've got to leave old Durham town
 And that leaving's gonna get me down
 Back in 1944
 I remember daddy walking out the door
 Mama told me he was going to war
 He was leaving
 Leaving, leaving, leaving, leaving me
 Now,I've got to leave old Durham town
 I've got to leave old Durham town
 I've got to leave old Durham town
 And that leaving's gonna get me down
 When I was a boy, I spent my time
 Sitting on the banks of the river Tyne
 Watching all the ships going down the line
 They were leaving
 Leaving, leaving, leaving, leaving me
 Now,I've got to leave old Durham town
 I've got to leave old Durham town
 I've got to leave old Durham town
 And that leaving's gonna get me down
 The last week mama passed away
 Goodbye son, was all she'd say
 There's no cause for me to stay
 So I'm leaving
 Leaving, leaving, leaving, leaving free
 I've got to leave old Durham town
 I've got to leave old Durham town
 I've got to leave old Durham town
 And that leaving's gonna get me
 I've got to leave old Durham town
 I've got to leave old Durham town
 I've got to leave old Durham town
 And that leaving's gonna get me
