Lyrics Durham Town (The Leavin')

I've gotta leave old Durham town
I've gotta leave old Durham town
I've gotta leave old Durham town
And that leavin's gonna get me down
Back in nineteen forty-four
I remember Daddy walkin' out the door
Mama told me he was goin' to war
He was leavin'
Leavin', leavin', leavin'
Leavin' me
I've gotta leave old Durham town
I've gotta leave old Durham town
I've gotta leave old Durham town
And that leavin's gonna get me down
When I was a boy
I spent my time sittin' on the banks of the river Tyne
Watchin' all the ships goin' down the line
They were leavin'
Leavin', leavin', leavin'
Leavin' me
I've gotta leave old Durham town
I've gotta leave old Durham town
I've gotta leave old Durham town
And that leavin's gonna get me down
Last week
Mama passed away
Goodbye son was all she'd say
There's no cause for me to stay so I'm leavin'
Leavin', leavin', leavin'
Leavin' free
I've gotta leave old Durham town
I've gotta leave old Durham town
I've gotta leave old Durham town
And that leavin's gonna get me
I've gotta leave old Durham town
I've gotta leave old Durham town
I've gotta leave old Durham town
And that leavin's gonna get me
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la
