Fare Thee Well Northumberland Lyrics - Mark Knopfler

Come drive me down to the central station 

I hate to leave my river Tyne 

For some dawn 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 alley 

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 dawn 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
