My name is Geordie McIntyre, An' the Bairns don't even have a fire
G D7
So the wife says "Geordie, go to London Town!"
G D7 G D7
And if they don't give us half a chance, Don't even give us a second glance
G D7 G
Then Geordie, with my blessings, burn them down
D7 G
Come on follow the Geordie boys, They'll fill your heart with joy
C D7 G
They're marching for their freedom now
D7 G
Come on follow the Jarrow lads, They'll make your heart feel glad
C D7 G
They're singing now, yes now is the hour
G D7 G D7
My name is little Billy White, And I know what's wrong and I know what's right
G D7
An' the wife says "Geordie, go to London Town!"
G D7 G D7
An' if they don't give us a couple of bob, Won't even give you a decent job
G D7 G
Then Geordie, with my blessings, burn them down

Come on follow the Geordie boys, They'll fill your heart with joy

My name is little Alan Price, I tried to be nice all of my life

But I'm afraid that up to date it doesn't work

Now where do I stand, either side or not

Come on follow this Geordie boy, He'll try and fill your heart with joy
