[Verse 1]
We had no way of staying afloat
We had to leave on the ferry boat
Economic refugee
On the run to Germany
We had the back of Maggie's hand
Times were tough in Geordieland
We got wor tools and working gear
And humped it all from Newcastle to here
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
We're the nomad tribes, travelling boys (why aye, why aye man)
In the dust and dirt and the racket and the noise (why aye, why aye man)
Drills and hammers, diggers and picks (why aye, why aye man)
Mixing concrete, laying bricks (why aye, why aye man)
English, Irish, Scots, the lot
United Nation's what we've got
Brickies, chippies, every trade
German-built and British-made
We had no way of staying afloat
We had to leave on the ferry boat
Economic refugee
On the run to Germany
We had the back of Maggie's hand
Times were tough in Geordieland
We got wor tools and working gear
And humped it all from Newcastle to here
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
We're the nomad tribes, travelling boys (why aye, why aye man)
In the dust and dirt and the racket and the noise (why aye, why aye man)
Drills and hammers, diggers and picks (why aye, why aye man)
Mixing concrete, laying bricks (why aye, why aye man)
English, Irish, Scots, the lot
United Nation's what we've got
Brickies, chippies, every trade
German-built and British-made
