jez lowe and the bad pennies - back in durham gaol lyrics

Loading...

(chorus)
no never in the live+long day
you’ll not find me back in durham gaol
no never in the live+long day
you’ll not find me back in durham gaol

i’m a poor man as honest as they come
i never was a thief until they caught me
and the judge he said he saw me hands were red
no matter how i plead he found me guilty

there was no bail off to durham gaol
i went knowing nothing now could save me
calamities they always come in threes
and that’s how many months it was he gave me

(chorus)

it was a grey day whеn first i went astray
the devil takе the man that came to tempt
cause in no time me life was one of crime
and now you see the trouble that’s it’s got me

well there’s four bare walls at which to stare
me board and me lodgings are all paid for
you can’t see the turning of the key
to hear them turn it back is all you wait for
(chorus)

ah but sad to say here i am to stay
with only iron bars around to lean
i get a cold bath to dampen down me wrath
though it’s barely just a month ago i had one

god knows i need a suit of clothes
you think they could of found a one to fit me
me boots would be fine if they were both a nine
i’m walking like a fall of stones had hit me

(chorus)

and i’m sure that me mother’s heart would break
to see me in a state of such repentance
i’m glad she’s not around to see
and i’ll be out before she finishes her sentence

the sun will shine, i’ll leave it all behind
once again a name and not a number
then out of the gate on the narrow and straight
i hope they let me keep the stripy jumper

(chorus)
