Durham Town          Roger Whittaker

	I've gotta leave old durham town  (x3)
	And that leavin's gonna get me down

Back in nineteen forty four
I remember daddy walking out the door
Momma told me he was goin to war,
he was leavin', leavin' levin' leavin' leavin' me.

			Chorus
   
When I was a lad I spent my time,
sittin on the banks of river Tyne
watchin all the ships going down the line 
they were leavin', leavin' leavin' leavin' leavin' free.

			Chorus

Last week momma passed away 
goodbye son was all she'd say
There's no need for me to stay
So I'm leavin', leavin' leavin' leavin' leavin' free.

			Chorus
