[00:01.19] Sailing to Philadelphia
[00:10.71]
[00:11.81] Mark Knopfler
[00:18.39]
[00:19.89] I'm Jeremiah Dixon
[00:22.62] I am a Geordie boy
[00:25.26] A glass of wine with you, sir
[00:26.91] And the ladies I'll enjoy
[00:30.98] All Durham and Northumberland
[00:35.15] Is measured up by my own hand
[00:40.10] It was my fate from birth
[00:43.89] To make my mark upon the earth...
[00:47.91]
[00:50.61] He calls me Charlie Mason
[00:52.94] A stargazer am I
[00:56.16] It seems that I was born
[00:57.67] To chart the evening sky
[01:01.42] They'd cut me out for baking bread
[01:05.62] But I had other dreams instead
[01:09.90] This baker's boy from the west country
[01:14.09] Would join the Royal Society...
[01:17.75]
[01:20.48] We are sailing to Philadelphia
[01:26.10] A world away from the coaly Tyne
[01:30.54] Sailing to Philadelphia
[01:36.35] To draw the line
[01:40.19] The Mason-Dixon line
[01:44.08]
[02:06.67] Now you're a good surveyor, Dixon
[02:09.04] But I swear you'll make me mad
[02:12.19] The West will kill us both
[02:14.04] You gullible Geordie lad
[02:18.19] You talk of liberty
[02:21.85] How can America be free
[02:26.29] A Geordie and a baker's boy
[02:30.30] In the forest of the Iroquois...
[02:33.83]
[02:36.60] Now hold your head up, Mason
[02:38.92] See America lies there
[02:42.53] The morning tide has raised
[02:44.36] The capes of Delaware
[02:48.51] Come up and feel the sun
[02:52.43] A new morning is begun
[02:56.69] Another day will make it clear
[03:00.77] Why your stars should guide us here...
[03:04.17]
[03:06.99] We are sailing to Philadelphia
[03:12.83] A world away from the coaly Tyne
[03:17.04] Sailing to Philadelphia
[03:22.81] To draw the line
[03:26.63] The Mason-Dixon line
[03:35.90]
