Lyrics
"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 geordieland We got our tools and working gear And humped it all from newcastle to here
Why 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 man
We're nomad tribes, travelling 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, the lot United nations what we got Brickies, chippies, every trade German building, british made
Why 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 man
Nay more work on maggie's farm Haddaway down the autobahn Mine's a portakabin bed Or a bunk in a nissen hut instead
There's plenty deutschmarks 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 high
Why 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 man
Sometimes I miss my river tyne But you're my pretty fräulein Tonight we'll drink the old town dry Keep wor spirit levels high
Sometimes I miss my river tyne But you're my pretty fräulein Tonight we'll drink the old town dry Keep wor spirit levels high
