Why Aye Man

We had no way of staying afloat

We had to leave on a ferryboat

Economic refugees, on the run to Germany

We had the back of Maggie's hand

Times were tough in Geordie land

We got our tools and working gear

And humped it all from Newcastle to hereWhy aye man

Why aye, why aye man

Why aye man

Why aye, why aye man

Why aye man

Why aye, why aye man

Why aye man

Why aye, why aye manWe're the nomad tribes, traveling boys

In the dust and dirt and the wrecking noise

Drills and hammers, diggers and picks

Mixing concrete, laying bricks

There's English, Irish, Scots a lot

United Nations what we've got

Brickies, chippies, every trade

German building, British madeWhy aye man

Why aye, why aye man

Why aye man

Why aye, why aye man

Why aye man

Why aye, why aye man

Why aye man

Why aye, why aye manNay more work on Maggie's farm

Head away down the autobahn

Mine's a Portakabin bed

Or a bunk in a Nissen hut insteadThere's plenty Deutsch marks here to earn

And German tarts are wunderschön

German beer is chemical free

Germany's alright with me

Sometimes, I miss my River Tyne

But you're my pretty fräulein

Tonight we'll drink the old town dry

Keep our spirit levels highWhy aye man

Why aye, why aye man

Why aye man

Why aye, why aye man

Why aye man

Why aye, why aye man

Why aye man

Why aye, why aye manSometimes, I miss my River Tyne

But you're my pretty fräulein

Tonight we'll drink the old town dry

Keep our spirit levels high

Sometimes, I miss my River Tyne

But you're my pretty fräulein

Tonight we'll drink the old town dry

Keep our spirit levels high
