[length: 05:29]
[00:19.36]I am Jeremiah Dixon
[00:21.77]I am a Geordie Boy
[00:24.41]A glass of wine with you, sir
[00:26.58]And the ladies I’ll enjoy
[00:30.65]All Durham and Northumberland
[00:34.61]Is measured up by my own hand
[00:39.03]It was my fate from birth
[00:43.31]To make my mark upon the earth
[00:49.87]He calls me Charlie Mason
[00:52.49]A stargazer am I
[00:55.29]It seems that I was born
[00:57.39]To chart the evening sky
[01:00.62]They’d cut me out for baking bread
[01:05.13]But I had other dreams instead
[01:09.08]This baker’s boy from the west country
[01:13.35]Would join the Royal Society
[01:19.74]We are sailing to Philadelphia
[01:25.70]A world away from the coaly Tyne
[01:30.39]Sailing to Philadelphia
[01:35.62]To draw the line
[01:39.58]The Mason-Dixon line
[02:05.95]Now you’re a good surveyor, Dixon
[02:08.52]But I swear you’ll make me mad
[02:11.91]The West will kill us both
[02:13.12]You gullible Geordie lad
[02:17.29]You talk of liberty
[02:21.07]How can America be free
[02:25.65]A Geordie and a baker’s boy
[02:29.95]In the forest of the Iroquois
[02:36.42]Now hold your head up, Mason
[02:38.46]See America lies there
[02:41.91]The morning tide has raised
[02:43.58]The capes of Delaware
[02:47.76]Come up and feel the sun
[02:51.78]A new morning is begun
[02:56.14]Another day will make it clear
[03:00.08]Why your stars should guide us here
[03:06.32]We are sailing to Philadelphia
[03:12.35]A world away from the coaly Tyne
[03:16.86]Sailing to Philadelphia
[03:22.21]To draw the line
[03:26.15]The Mason-Dixon line
