Jez Lowe. Liam Clancy recorded this beautiful Scottish air. Also recorded by The McCalmans. Back In Durham Jail Song was also written by songwriter Jez Lowe .

Sleep[C] why'd[Am] you wake me with these dreams you bring
[F]Dreams came to me where you[C] lay
And[F] deep the melody the[C] wild waves[Am] sing
And[Dm] my love is[C] far far[F] away
[Chorus]
Oh[C] pity the hearts the[Am] wild waves part
My[Dm] love sales the[C] bonny barque , The[F] Bergen
 
They heap their nets upon the docks by light
Dreams come to me ,
And creep out gently at the dead of night
And my love is far , far away
 
They reap the harvest of the cold night sea
It leaps with herrings 'neath his decks for me
Steep waves rise above his cold dark head
Oh keep him safe to lie here in my bed
 
It weeps with rain tonight where my love lies
It sweeps the foreign sands from out his eyes

Here's the chords for the key of G.

Sleep[C] why'd[Am] you wake me with these dreams you bring
[F]Dreams came to me where you[C] lay
And[F] deep the melody the[C] wild waves[Am] sing
And[Dm] my love is[C] far far[F] away
[Chorus]
Oh[C] pity the hearts the[Am] wild waves part
My[Dm] love sales the[C] bonny barque , The[F] Bergen
