The Immigrant Lad
(专辑: Every One Of Us - 1968)
And here I
sit with a
tear in my eye, the
waters of Tyne in between you and I
And here I
sit with a
tear in my eye, the
waters of Tyne in between you and I
As a
child I
dreamed of her, on the
far banks of the
river I
knew she could not be reached, for my mind was forever wondering Far above his head, as he tried his best to teach me The
river was muddy and black, black as the
coal she carried Impossible to cross, many men had tried The
old sailor told me, another life is lost And here I
sit with a
tear in my eye, the
waters of Tyne in between you and I
And here I
sit with a
tear in my eye, the
waters of Tyne in between you and I
Black was the
colour of my childish dreams, impressions that would last Black coal, coal black pit yacka's face, escaping the
coal dust blast Blind pony stumbling to the
light of day, to retire in the
green fields forever And I'll build me a
bridge of steel, to beat the
black river forever I'll beat that black river forever, I'll beat that muddy river forever And here I
sit with a
tear in my eye, the
waters of Tyne in between you and I
And here I
sit with a
tear in my eye, the
waters of Tyne in between you and I
