Why Aye Man - Mark Knopfler

Written by：Mark Knopfler

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 wor 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 why aye why aye man

In the dust and dirt and the racket and the noise why aye why aye man

Drills and hammers diggers and picks why aye why aye man

Mixing concrete laying bricks why aye why aye man

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 why aye why aye man

And German tarts are wunderschoen why aye why aye man

German beer is chemical free why aye why aye man

Germany's alreet with me why aye why aye man

Sometimes I miss my River Tyne

But you're my pretty fraulein

Tonight we'll drink the old town dry

Keep wor 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
