Doc Watson Leaving London Capo 2 [Verse 1] There’s dark and rolling sea Between my love and me As I walk through this cold lonesome town As I wish for a better day I need a place to stay if it’s just a floor to spread my blanket down     [Chorus] And if I could beg steal or borrow A ticket on some ole’ ship or pla-ane I’d leave ole’ London tomorrow And I’d fly to my own true love again [Verse 2] Off and on to change my shirt Just to wash away the dirt And then it’s over to American Express And not a letter do I find She didn’t even send a line And I know she has my forwarding address    [Chorus] And if I could beg steal or borrow A ticket on some ole’ ship or pla-ane I’d leave ole’ London tomorrow And I’d fly to my own true love again [Solo] [Verse 3] Last night The Troubadour Was so full they barred the door And I sang a song that she Loves so well And it wouldn’t take me long To make up another song About a sad and a lonesome farewell    [Chorus] And if I could beg steal or borrow A ticket on some ole’ ship or pla-ane I’d leave ole’ London tomorrow And I’d fly to my own true love again [Verse 4] At my room I close the door Spread my blanket on the floor Feeling like a man in a cell Sleep finally comes to me and I drift across the sea To the waiting arms of the girl I love so well     [Chorus] And if I could beg steal or borrow A ticket on some ole’ ship or pla-ane I’d leave ole’ London tomorrow And I’d fly to my own true love again Yes I’d fly to my own true love again
