Fare Thee Well, Northumberland/The Purple Wave

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
