Durham town

(Chorus:)
I've got to leave old Durham town (x3)
And the leaving's gonna get me down.

Back in nineteen forty-four,
I remember daddy walking out the door
Mama told me he was going to war
He was leaving, leaving, leaving, leaving, leaving me

Chorus

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

Chorus

The last week mama passed away
Good-bye, son, was all she'd say
There's no cause for me to stay
So I'm leaving, leaving, leaving, leaving, leaving free

Chorus (bis)
