Fare Thee Well Northumberland - Mark Knopfler

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
