Tom Paxton - Leaving london

With a ^Gdark and rolling ^Emsea Between ^Gmy true love and ^Emme I keep ^Gwalking through this ^Emcold ^Dhard ^Gtown

While I ^Gwait for better ^Emdays I could ^Guse a place to ^Emstay Or a ^Gfloor where I could ^Emlay my ^Dblanket ^Gdown

^CIf I could beg, steal or ^Gborrow A ^Cticket on some ship or ^Gpla-^Dane ^CI'd be leaving London ^Gtomorrow To ^Cfly to my ^Down love ^Gagain

Up at ^Gdawn to change my ^Emshirt And to ^Gwash away the ^Emdirt Then it's ^Gover to A^Emmeri^Dcan E^Gxpress

Not one ^Gletter did I^Em find No, she ^Gdidn't send one ^Emline Though I ^Gknow she has my ^Emforwar^Dding ad^Gdress

^CIf I could beg, steal or ^Gborrow A ^Cticket on some ship or ^Gpla-^Dane ^CI'd be leaving London ^Gtomorrow To ^Cfly to my ^Down love ^Gagain

Last ^Gnight The ^EmTroubadour Was so ^Gfull, they barred the ^Emdoor And I ^Gsang a song she ^Emknows ^Dquite ^Gwell

But it ^Gwouldn't take too ^Emlong To make ^Gup another ^Emsong For a ^Glonesome and a ^Emlast ^Dfare^Gwell

^CIf I could beg, steal or ^Gborrow A ^Cticket on some ship or ^Gpla-^Dane ^CI'd be leaving London ^Gtomorrow To ^Cfly to my ^Down love ^Gagain ^CI'd be leaving London ^Gtomorrow ^CTo fly to my ^Down love ^Gagain
