Karaoké Durham Town (The Leavin') Roger Whittaker

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
