[length: 04:57]
[00:32.07]I am Jeremiah Dixon, I am a Geordie boy
[00:37.32]A glass of wine with you, sir and the ladies I’ll enjoy
[00:43.03]All Durham and Northumberland is measured up by my own hand
[00:52.82]It was my fate from birth to make my mark upon the earth
[01:02.61]He calls me Charlie Mason, a stargazer am I
[01:08.49]It seems that I was born to chart the evening sky
[01:13.91]They’d cut me out for baking bread
[01:18.33]But I had other dreams instead
[01:22.37]This baker’s boy from the west country would join the royal society
[01:33.05]We are sailing to Philadelphia
[01:39.02]A world away from the Coaly Tyne
[01:43.22]Sailing to Philadelphia
[01:49.08]To draw the line, the Mason-Dixon line
[01:57.13]
[02:19.39]Now you’re a good surveyor, Dixon
[02:21.91]But I swear you make me mad
[02:25.44]The West will kill us both, you gullible Geordie lad
[02:31.36]You talk of liberty
[02:34.86]How can America be free?
[02:39.39]A Geordie and a baker’s boy in the forest of the Iroquois
[02:49.72]And now hold your head up, Mason, see America lies there
[02:55.98]The morning tide has raised the capes of Delaware
[03:01.68]Come up and feel the sun
[03:05.96]A new morning has begun
[03:09.73]Another day will make it clear why your stars should guide us here
[03:20.13]We are sailing to Philadelphia
[03:26.14]A world away from the Coaly Tyne
[03:30.37]Sailing to Philadelphia
[03:36.25]To draw the line, the Mason-Dixon line
[03:44.99]The Mason-Dixon line
