[Intro]
(Dubarry was a man who was in and out of jail
From Texas to Tennessee and from Oklahoma to Alabama
When you'd ask a warden "How's Dubarry?", all he'd say was
"Dubarry? Dubarry done gone again")

[Chorus]
Dubarry done gone again
Dubarry done gone again
Dubarry done gone again
He's bound for Canaan land

[Chorus]
Dubarry done gone again
Dubarry done gone again
Dubarry done gone again
He's bound for Canaan land

[Verse 1]
Can't keep Dubarry chained
(He's gone again, he's gone again)
He broke his chains again
(He's bound for Canaan land)

[Chorus]
Dubarry done gone again
Dubarry done gone again
Dubarry done gone again
He's bound for Canaan land
[Chorus]
(Well, it's) Dubarry done gone again
Dubarry done gone again
Dubarry done gone again
He's bound for Canaan land

[Verse 2]
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)

[Chorus]
Dubarry done gone again
Dubarry done gone again
Dubarry done gone again
He's bound for Canaan land

[Verse 3]
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)

[Chorus]
(Well, it's) Dubarry done gone again
Dubarry done gone again
Dubarry done gone again
He's bound for Canaan land
[Chorus]
Dubarry done gone again
Dubarry done gone again
Dubarry done gone again
He's bound for Canaan land

[Verse 4]
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

[Chorus]
(Well, it's) Dubarry done gone again
Dubarry done gone again
Dubarry done gone again
He's bound for Canaan land

[Bridge]
Dubarry
Dubarry
Dubarry
He's bound for Canaan land

[Chorus]
(And, it's) Dubarry done gone again
Dubarry done gone again
Dubarry done gone again
He's bound for Canaan land
