Lyrics:

[Spoken:]
Dubarry was a man who was in and out of jail from
Texas to Tennessee and from Oklahoma to Alabama.
When you asked a warden 'How's Dubarry?', all he'd
Say was: 'Dubarry? Dubarry done gone again.'

Dubarry done gone again
Dubarry done gone again
Dubarry done gone again
He's bound for Canaan land

Dubarry done gone again
Dubarry done gone again
Dubarry done gone again
He's bound for Canaan land

Can't keep Dubarry chained
He's gone again, he's gone again
He broke his chains again
He's bound for Canaan land

Dubarry done gone again
Dubarry done gone again
Dubarry done gone again
He's bound for Canaan land

Dubarry he don't leave no tracks
He's gone again, he's gone again
Bloodhounds come droopin' back
He's bound for Canaan land

Dubarry done gone again
Dubarry done gone again
Dubarry done gone again
He's bound for Canaan land

They took Dubarry to the jailhouse door
He's gone again. He's gone again
In at 3 and he's out at 4
He's bound for Canaan land

Dubarry done gone again
Dubarry done gone again
Dubarry done gone again
He's bound for Canaan land

Dubarry he's a travellin' man
He's gone again, he's gone again
He carries his ticket in his right hand
He's bound for Canaan land

Dubarry, Dubarry, Dubarry
He's bound for Canaan land
