Lyrics
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, Northumberland Although 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, Northumberland My heart beats for my streets and alleys Longs to dwell in the borderlands The north-east shore and the river valleys Fare thee well, Northumberland I 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 home Roll on, Geordie boy, roll Roll on, Geordie boy, roll Roll on, Geordie boy, roll Roll on, Geordie boy, roll ♪ So 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 mine Although 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, Northumberland ♪ So roll on, Geordie boy, roll Roll on, Geordie boy, roll Roll on, Geordie boy, roll Roll on, Geordie boy, roll
