[00:08.73] We had no way of staying afloat,
[00:13.02] We had to leave on a ferryboat.
[00:17.40] Economic refugees,
[00:21.66] On the run to Germany.
[00:25.85] We had the back of Maggie's hand,
[00:30.14] Times were tough in Geordieland.
[00:34.44] We got wor tools and working gear
[00:36.54] And humped it all from Newcastle to here.
[00:42.99] Why aye man.
[00:45.10] Why aye, why aye man.
[00:47.24] Why aye man,
[00:49.38] Why aye, why aye man.
[00:51.52] Why aye man.
[00:53.63] Why aye, why aye man.
[00:55.86] Why aye man,
[00:58.00] Why aye, why aye man.
[01:16.12] We're nomad tribes, travelling boys,
[01:20.41] In the dust and dirt and the racket and the noise.
[01:24.88] Drills and hammers, diggers and picks,
[01:29.11] Mixing concrete, laying bricks.
[01:33.33] There's English, Irish, Scots, the lot.
[01:37.57] United Nations' what we've got.
[01:41.99] Brickies, chippies, every trade.
[01:44.13] German building, British made.
[01:50.69] Why aye man.
[01:52.80] Why aye, why aye man.
[01:54.89] Why aye man,
[01:57.00] Why aye, why aye man.
[01:59.19] Why aye man.
[02:01.39] Why aye, why aye man.
[02:03.43] Why aye man,
[02:05.59] Why aye, why aye man.
[02:24.48] Nay more work on Maggie's farm.
[02:28.99] Haddaway down the autobahn.
[02:33.17] Mine's a Portakabin bed,
[02:37.26] Or a bunk in a Nissen hut instead.
[02:57.84] There's plenty Deutschmarks here to earn.
[03:02.14] And German tarts are wundersch鰊.
[03:06.46] German beer is chemical free.
[03:10.81] Germany's alright with me.
[03:15.09] Sometimes I miss my river Tyne,
[03:19.32] But you're my pretty fr鋟lein.
[03:23.80] Tonight we'll drink the old town dry,
[03:25.85] Keep wor spirit levels high.
[03:32.42] Why aye man.
[03:34.51] Why aye, why aye man.
[03:36.67] Why aye man,
[03:38.74] Why aye, why aye man.
[03:40.94] Why aye man.
[03:43.10] Why aye, why aye man.
[03:45.30] Why aye man,
[03:47.40] Why aye, why aye man.
