G Em G Em G D6/F# G G Em With a dark and rolling sea G Em Between my love and me, G D7/F# G I keep walking through this cold hard town. G Em While I wait for better days, G Em I could use a place to stay, G D7/F# G Or a floor where I could lay my blanket down. C G If I could beg, steal or borrow C G D/F# A ticket on some ship or plane, Em (C) G I'd be leaving London tomorrow, C D/F# G To fly to my own love again.
Up at dawn to change my shirt
And to wash away the dirt,
Then it's over to American Express.
Not one letter did I find,
No, she didn't send one line,
Though I know she has my forwarding address.
If I could beg, steal or borrow
A ticket on some ship or plane,
I'd be leaving London tomorrow,
To fly to my own love again.
Last night the Troubadour
Was so full they barred the door,
And I sang a song she knows quite well.
But it wouldn't take too long,
To make up another song,
For a lonesome and a last farewell.
If I could beg, steal or borrow
A ticket on some ship or plane,
I'd be leaving London tomorrow,
To fly to my own love again.
As I close my hotel door,
Spread my blanket on the floor,
Lord, I feel like a prisoner in his cell.
When sleep finally comes to me,
Then I fly across the sea,
To the arms of the girl I love so well.
If I could beg, steal or borrow
A ticket on some ship or plane,
I'd be leaving London tomorrow,
To fly to my own love again.
I'd be leaving London tomorrow,
To fly to my own love again.
(Words and music by Tom Paxton and Doc Watson, 1966)
