              C
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

              F                 C
Although I'll go where the lady takes me

                                G
She'll never tell what's in her hand

         C
I do not know what fate awaits me

Fare thee well, Northumberland

                              C/G  
I'm bound to ramble and to roam

I only say my heart is grieving

I would not gamble on my coming home
