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. 1. I remember back in 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, now. 2. When I was a boy, I spent my time, sitting on the banks of the river side. Watching all the ships going down the line, they were leaving, leaving, leaving, leaving, leaving me, now. 3. 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, now. Chorus (2x)
