Текст (слова) песни: Knopfler, Mark - Why Aye Man

"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 Maggies 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.


Were nomad tribes, travelling boys,
In the dust and dirt and the wrecking noise.
Drills and hammers, diggers and picks,
Mixing concrete, laying bricks.
Theres 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 Maggies farm.
Head away down the autobahn.
Mines a Portakabin bed,
Or a bunk in a Nissen hut instead.


Theres plenty Deutschmarks here to earn.
And German tarts are wundersch鰊.
German beer is chemical free.
Germanys alright with me.
Sometimes I miss my River Tyne,
But youre my pretty fr鋟lein.
Tonight well 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 youre my pretty fr鋟lein.
Tonight well drink the old town dry,
Keep our spirit levels high.


Sometimes I miss my River Tyne,
But youre my pretty fr鋟lein.
Tonight well drink the old town dry,
Keep our spirit levels high.
