Intro: D5
We had no way of staying afloat
We had to leave on the ferry boat
Economic refugees
On the run to germany
We hGad the back of maggie's hand Gadd9
TD5imes were tough in geordieland
(D5)
We got wor tools and working gear
And humped it all from newcastle to here
WhD5y aye man, whFy aye, whGy aye man
WhGy aye man, whBby aye, whCy aye man
WhD5y aye man, whFy aye, whGy aye man
WhGy aye man, whCy aye mD5an
D5
We're the nomad tribes, travelling boys
In the dust and dirt and the racket and the noise
Drills and hammers, diggers and picks
Mixing concrete, laying bricks
There's Genglish, irish, scots, the lot
UnD5ited nation's what we've got
(D5x32013)
Brickies, chippies, every trade
German building, british-made
WhD5y aye man, whFy aye, whGy aye man
WhGy aye man, whBby aye, whCy aye man
WhD5y aye man, whFy aye, whGy aye man
WhGy aye man, whCy aye mD5an

And german tarts are wunderschoen

SGometimes I miss my river tyne Gadd9
But yD5ou're my pretty fraulein
(D5)
Tonight we'll drink the old town dry
Keep wor spirit levels high
WhD5y aye man, whFy aye, whGy aye man
WhGy aye man, whBby aye, whCy aye man
WhD5y aye man, whFy aye, whGy aye man
WhGy aye man, whCy aye mD5an
