Subject: Back In Durham Jail From: GUEST,Davey Date: 03 Jul 01 - 11:04 AM Does anyone have the lyrics to the Jez Lowe song, Back in Durham Jail? Messages from multiple threads combined. |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Back In Durham Jail From: Malcolm Douglas Date: 03 Jul 01 - 11:14 AM If you were to type back in durham jail into the very useful "Digitrad and Forum Search" box on the main Forum page, you would find this earlier discussion: Durham Gaol, which contains a link to another thread here in which the lyrics were posted. If you were to spell it gaol, as Jez does, you would find it more directly: Durham Gaol |

Subject: RE: Durham jail From: Dicho (Frank Staplin) Date: 09 Jan 02 - 11:35 PM Which Durham jail? Australia, England or North Carolina? |
Subject: RE: Durham jail From: Dicho (Frank Staplin) Date: 09 Jan 02 - 11:39 PM If it's the English one, try Durham Gaol. Here |
Subject: RE: Durham jail From: Dicho (Frank Staplin) Date: 09 Jan 02 - 11:42 PM If it's the American one, search for "Back in Durham Jail." |
Subject: RE: Durham jail From: Dicho (Frank Staplin) Date: 09 Jan 02 - 11:58 PM The only "Back in Durham Jail" that I can find is the one by Jez Lowe, Recently copyrighted, it is not in the search engines. There is a song about the NC jail, but I can't find it. |
Subject: RE: Durham jail From: Hrothgar Date: 10 Jan 02 - 05:40 AM Where is there a Durham Jail/Gaol in Australia? |
Subject: Lyr Add: BACK IN DURHAM GAOL (Jez Lowe) From: Gillie Date: 10 Jan 02 - 07:40 AM Here is the version Jez Lowe sings:-
BACK IN DURHAM GAOL
I'm a poor man, as honest as they come,
Chorus
'Twas a great day when first I went astray,
Oh but sad to say, here I am to stay,
And I'm sure that me mother's heart would break,
This appears in one of Jez Lowe's Song Books, of which there are several available from Lowe Life Music in the U.K - and well worth obtaining if I may say so!! |
Subject: RE: Durham jail From: alison Date: 10 Jan 02 - 07:56 AM isn't there another verse something about "I hope they let me keep my stripey jumper" ???? slainte alison |
Subject: RE: Durham jail From: Jock Morris Date: 10 Jan 02 - 08:04 AM Jez changed the lines about boots to be about his trademark stripey jumper when he forgot the lyrics one night. The new lines seem to have stuck, as that's the version he now sings. Scott |

Subject: RE: Durham jail From: Dicho (Frank Staplin) Date: 10 Jan 02 - 08:30 AM Hrothgar, I misread some of the stuff on Google. Probably not one in Australia. |

Subject: RE: Durham jail From: toadfrog Date: 10 Jan 02 - 11:50 PM Bob Davenport sings: DURHAM GAOLBreakin' sticks and sellin' sand;Getting drunk so you can nae stand; Gannen yem and beatin' your wife, Ye'll gang to Durham Gaol for life! In and out the window, In and out the window, In and out the window, As we've done times before. |
