Back in Durham Gaol
Words and music by Jez Lowe
[Verse 1]
D G
I’m a poor man as honest as they come
D A
I never was a thief until they caught me,
D G
The judge said he saw my hands were red,
D A D
No matter how I pled they found me guilty,
A D
There was no bail; off to Durham Gaol
A D
I went knowing nothing now can save me,
A D
Calamities they always come in threes,
D A D
And that’s how many months it was he gave me.
[Chorus]
G D A D
And it’s no never in the live-long day,
G D A D
You’ll not find me back in Durham Gaol.
G D A D
No never in the live-long day,
G D A D
You’ll not find me back in Durham Gaol.
[Verse 2]
D G
‘Twas a grey day when first I went astray,
D A
The devil take the man who came to tempt me,
D G
For in no time my life was one of crime,
D A D
And now you see the trouble that it’s got me.
A D
There are four bare walls at which to stare,
A D
Me food and me lodgings are all paid for,
A D
You can’t see the turning of the key,
D A D
To hear it turning back is all you wait for.
[Chorus]
G D A D
And it’s no never in the live-long day,
G D A D
You’ll not find me back in Durham Gaol.
G D A D
No never in the live-long day,
G D A D
You’ll not find me back in Durham Gaol.
[Verse 3]
D G
Sad to say, here I am to stay,
D A
With only iron bars around to lean on,
D G
I get a cold bath to dampen down me wrath,
D A D
Though it’s barely just a month ago I had one,
A D
And God knows, I need a suit of clothes,
A D
You’d think they could’ve found a one to fit me
A D
Me boots would be fine if they were both a nine,
D A D
I’m walking like a fall of stones had hit me
[Chorus]
G D A D
And it’s no never in the live-long day,
G D A D
You’ll not find me back in Durham Gaol.
G D A D
No never in the live-long day,
G D A D
You’ll not find me back in Durham Gaol.
[Verse 4]
D G
And I’m sure that me mother’s heart would break,
D A
To see me in a state of such repentance,
D G
I’m glad she’s not around to see,
D A D
And I’ll be out before she finishes her sentence,
A D
The sun will shine, I’ll leave it all behind,
A D
Knowing I’ve done my time and done my duty,
A D
And out of the gates on the narrow and the straight,
D A D
To the place where I have buried all the booty.
[Chorus]
G D A D
And it’s no never in the live-long day,
G D A D
You’ll not find me back in Durham Gaol.
G D A D
No never in the live-long day,
G D A D
You’ll not find me back in Durham Gaol.
[Chorus]
G D A D
And it’s no never in the live-long day,
G D A D
You’ll not find me back in Durham Gaol.
G D A D
No never in the live-long day,
G D A D
You’ll not find me back in Durham Gaol.
G D A D
You’ll not find me back in Durham Gaol.
