Dm We had no way of G staying a Dm float
We G had to leave on the fer Dm ry-boat

G On the Dm run to F Germ Dm any
We G had the back of Dm Maggies G hand G- -
Dm Times were tough in G Geordie Dm land
Dm We got wor tools and G working Dm gear
And G humped it all from New F castle Dm to here
Dm Why aye man, G why aye, Dm why aye man
G Why aye man, Dm why aye, F why Dm aye man (x2)
Dm Were the nomad tribes, G travelling Dm boys
In the G dust and the Dm dirt and the F racket and Dm the noise
Dm Drills and hammers, G diggers and Dm picks
G Mixing Dm concrete, F lay Dm ing bricks
Theres G English, Irish, Scots, the lot G --

G German building, Dm British-made
Dm Why aye man, G why aye, why Dm aye man
G Why aye man, Dm why aye, F why Dm aye man (x2)
