DON VALLEY JAIL - STOMPIN' TOM CONNORS Tabbed by Barry Miles G C Verse:

I left my ^Clove to ^Gseek my ^Cfortune Though she told me ^Gnot to ^Cgo I said goodbye to ^GNova ^CScotia Travelled ^G7to Ontari^Co Travelled ^G7to Ontari^Co

There I chose the wrong companions And we tried to rob the mail Now I'm in Toronto city In the old Don Valley Jail I'm in the old Don Valley Jail Chorus:

Little ^Fdarlin, do a favor for me ^CDon't tell mom and dad

It would break their hearts to know

Their only son has turned out ^G7bad And if ^Cyou should see my sisters Please don't ^Ftell them I'm in ^Cjail I still ^Flove you, little ^Cdarlin' I'll be ^G7waiting for your ^Cmail I'll be ^G7waiting for your ^Cmail

F C G7 C Verse: Here among my few belongings I have pictures of the sea But the picture that I cherish Is that one of you and me It's that one of you and me I'll be tryin for probation There's a man who comes around Keep your fingers crossed and pray That I'll be Nova Scotia bound I'll be Nova Scotia bound Chorus As I write, I think of someone Who once said, it always seems When they take your freedom from you Then you'll know what freedom means Yes, I know what freedom means Now I hope you get my letter In the Nova Scotia mail But don't forget me in Toronto In the old Don Valley jail, I'm in the old Don Valley jail Chorus

In the ^G7ooooold Don Valley ^CJail
