Kishore Kumar Hits — Mark Knopfler - Why Aye Man - 2021 Remaster lyrics

Artist: Mark Knopfler

album: The Ragpicker's Dream (2021 Remaster)

We had no way of staying afloat
We had to leave on the ferry boat
Economic refugees
On the run to Germany
We had the back of Maggie's 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
♪
We're the nomad tribes, travelling boys
In the dust and dirt and the racket and the noise
Drills and hammers, diggers and picks
Mixing concrete, laying bricks
There's English, Irish, Scots, the Lot
United nation's what we've 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
♪
Nae more work on Maggie's farm
Hadaway down the autobahn
Mine's a portacabin bed
Or a bunk in a nissen hut instead
♪
There's plenty Deutschmarks here to earn
And German tarts are wunderschoen
German beer is chemical-free
Germany's alreet with me
Sometimes I miss my river Tyne
But you're my pretty fraulein
Tonight we'll 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
