DON VALLEY JAIL - STOMPIN TOM CONNORS
Tabbed by Barry Miles
Verse:
I left my love to seek my fortune
Though she told me not to go
I said goodbye to Nova Scotia
Travelled to Ontario
Travelled to Ontario
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 darlin, do a favor for me
Don t tell mom and dad
It would break their hearts to know
Their only son has turned out bad
And if you should see my sisters
Please don t tell them I m in jail
I still love you, little darlin
I ll be waiting for your mail
I ll be waiting for your mail
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 ooooold Don Valley Jail
