Home Newcastle |
Ah had te come te London, |
Coz ah couldn’t find ay job, |
But ah don’t intend te stay long, |
If ah make ay few quick bob |
It’s cold up there it Summer, |
It’s like sitting inside ay fridge, |
But ah wish ah was on the Quayside, |
Looking at the owld Tyne Bridge' |
Ahm coming home Newcastle, |
Ah might as well ay been in jail, |
Ahd walk the streets al day al neet, |
For ay bottle ay ye own Brown Ale, |
Ahm coming home Newcastle, |
If ye never win the Cup again, |
Ahl brave the dark at St. James’s Park, |
At the Gallowgate End in the rain, |
Ahm coming home… |
And ahm proud te be ay Geordie, |
And te live in Geordie land, |
Some people think wi bowdy, |
And wi hard te understand, |
And they say it’s just self pitty, |
And wi not so very tough, |
Coz the people in the big fat City, |
Haven’t had it half as rough, |
Ahm coming home Newcastle, |
Ye can keep ye London wine, |
Ahd walk the streets al day al neet, |
For ay bottle ay the River Tyne, |
Ahm coming home Newcastle, |
Ah wish ahd never been away, |
Ahd kiss the ground for the welcome sound, |
Of me mother saying hinny howay, |
Ahm coming home… |
And ah miss the auld blind busker, |
Who stands at Fenwicks door, |
He plays ay mean accordion, |
Ye’ve arl seen him there before |
And ah love the Geordie heroes, |
There’s so many famous names, |
Like Lindisfarne and Gazza, |
Brendan Foster and the Gateshead games |
Ahm coming home Newcastle, |
Ah might as well ay been in jail, |
Ahd walk the streets al day al neet, |
For ay bottle ay ye own Brown Ale, |
Ahm coming home Newcastle, |
If ye never win the Cup again, |
Ahl brave the dark at St. James’s Park, |
At the Gallowgate End in the rain |
Ahm coming home Newcastle, |
Ye can keep ye London wine, |
Ahd walk the streets al day al neet, |
For ay bottle ay the River Tyne, |
Ahm coming home Newcastle, |
Ah wish ahd never been away, |
Ahd kiss the ground for the welcome sound, |
Of me mother saying hinny howay |
Ahm coming home Newcastle, |
Ah might as well ay been in jail, |
Ahd walk the streets al day al neet, |
For ay bottle ay ye own Brown Ale, |
Ahm coming home Newcastle, |
If ye never win the Cup again, |
Ahl brave the dark at St. James’s Park, |
At the Gallowgate End in the rain, |
Ahm coming home Newcastle… |
