Durham Town
Composer(s): Roger Whittaker
Performer(s): Roger Whittaker; Val Doonican
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 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
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 the 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
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 the leaving's gonna get me down
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
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 the leaving's gonna get me down
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 the leaving's gonna get me down
