Testo Back In Durham Gaol - The Dubliners

Testo della canzone Back In Durham Gaol (The Dubliners), tratta dall'album Further Along

I'm a poor man as honest as I come
I never was a thief until they caught me
The judge said he saw me hands were red
No matter how I plead, he found me guilty
There was no bail, I'm off to Durham Jail
I'm going and nothing now can save me
Calamities, they always come in threes
And that's how many months it was they gave me
And it's no, never in the live long day
Will you find me back in Durham Jail
No, never in the live long day
Will you find me back in Durham Jail
It was a grey day when first I went astray
The give and take a man who came to tempt me
For in no time, me life was one of crime
And now you see the trouble that it got me
There are four bare walls on which to stare
Me food and me lodgings they are paid for
You can't see the turning of the key
To hear the turning, that is all you wait for
And it's no, never in the live long day
Will you find me back in Durham Jail
No, never in the live long day
Will you find me back in Durham Jail
Oh, it's sad to say that here I am to stay
With only iron bars around to lean on
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'd think they could have found a one to fit me
Me boots would be fine if they were both a nine
And walking like a fall of stones, it did to me
And it's no, never in the live long day
Will you find me back in Durham Jail
No, never in the live long day
Will you find me back in Durham Jail
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
Knowing I've done me time and done me duty
Then out through the gate and the narrow and the straight
To the place where I have heard it all about ye
And it's no, never in the live long day
Will you find me back in Durham Jail
No, never in the live long day
Will you find me back in Durham Jail
