A9
We had no way of staying afloat
Had to leave on a ferry boat
economic refugee
On the run to Germany
D
We had the back of Maggy's hand

A9
times were tough in Geordie Land
we got our tools and working gear
and humped it all from Newcastle to here

A9  F G
Why aye man, Why aye, why aye man.
D  F G
Why aye man, Why aye, why aye man.
A9  F G
Why aye man, Why aye, why aye man.
D  F A9
Why aye man, Why aye, why aye man.

We're the nomad tribes, travellin boys
(Why aye, why aye man)
the dust and dirt and the racket and the noise
(Why aye, why aye man)
drills and hammers, diggers and picks
(Why aye, why aye man)
mixing concrete, laying bricks
(Why aye, why aye man)
There's english, Irish, Scots the lot

BRIDGE
Dm     G
No more work on Maggy's farm
C     Am  G
hadaway down the autobahn
Mine's a portacabin bed
or a bunk in a nissen hut instead

There's a plenty Deutchmarks here to earn
(Why aye, why aye man)
and German tarts are wunderschön
(Why aye,why aye man)
German beer is chemical free
(Why aye, why aye man)
Germany is alright with me
(Why aye, why aye man)
Sometimes I miss my river Tyne

Dm     G
Sometimes I miss my river Tyne

tonight well drink the old town dry
keep our spirit levels high (x2)
