Fare Thee Well Northumberland

Come drive me down to the central station
I hate to leave my river Tyne
For some damn town that's God-forsaken
Fare thee well, NorthumberlandAlthough I'll go where the lady takes me
She'll never tell what's in her hand
I do not know what fate awaits me
Fare thee well, NorthumberlandMy heart beats for my streets and alley
Longs to dwell in the borderlands
The North-East shore and the river valleys
Fare thee well NorthumberlandI may not stay, I'm bound for leaving
I'm bound to ramble and to roam
I only say my heart is grieving
I would not gamble on my coming homeRoll on, Geordie boy, roll
Roll on, Geordie boy, roll
Roll on, Geordie boy, roll
Roll on, Geordie boy, rollSo drive me down to the central station
I hate to leave my river Tyne
For some damn town that's God-forsaken
Goodbye old friend of mineAlthough I'll go where the lady takes me
She'll never tell what's in her hand
I do not know what fate awaits me
Fare thee well, NorthumberlandSo roll on, Geordie boy, roll
Roll on, Geordie boy, roll
Roll on, Geordie boy, roll
Roll on, Geordie boy, roll
