I’ve gotta leave old Durham Town
I’ve gotta leave old Durham Town
I’ve gotta leave old Durham Town
And that 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 the war, he was leaving
Leaving leaving leaving leaving me

I’ve gotta leave old Durham Town
I’ve gotta leave old Durham Town
I’ve gotta leave old Durham Town
And that 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 gotta leave old Durham Town
I’ve gotta leave old Durham Town
I’ve gotta leave old Durham Town
And that leaving’s gonna get me down

Last week momma passed away
”Good bye son” is all she’d say
”There’s no call for me to stay so I’m leaving
Leaving leaving leaving leaving free

I’ve gotta leave old Durham Town
I’ve gotta leave old Durham Town
I’ve gotta leave old Durham Town
And that leaving’s gonna get me down

I’ve gotta leave old Durham Town
I’ve gotta leave old Durham Town
I’ve gotta leave old Durham Town
And that leaving’s gonna get me down

La lalala la lala la
La lalala la lala la
La lalala la lala lala
Lala lalalala lalalala
