'Twas late '65 at the old Wallsea Yard |
| [00:20.336] |
She was commissioned to haul the black tar |
| [00:24.213] |
We built the Northumbria there on the bar |
| [00:28.203] |
Roll Northumbria roll |
| [00:32.116] |
For when the Egyptians, they closed the Red Sea |
| [00:36.066] |
A call came on high from the powers that be |
| [00:40.025] |
To build the royal monster right down on the quay |
| [00:44.207] |
Roll Northumbria roll, me boys |
| [00:48.249] |
Roll Northumbria roll |
| [00:54.046] |
Carpathia, Vengeance, Celestial call |
| [00:58.179] |
She was the tanker to outsize 'em all |
| [01:02.019] |
From the banks of the Mersey to the Port of Hulal |
| [01:06.340] |
Roll Northumbria roll |
| [01:09.991] |
And fair Princess Anne threw a bottle of wine |
| [01:13.965] |
And watched as the giant set down in the Tyne |
| [01:18.109] |
What lay ahead could no mortal divine |
| [01:22.256] |
Roll Northumbria roll, me boys |
| [01:26.291] |
Roll Northumbria roll |
| [01:31.633] |
And it's one for the hot sun above |
| [01:36.239] |
Two for the empire we love |
| [01:39.669] |
And it's three for the fire that burns down below |
| [01:44.294] |
Roll on Northumbria |
| [01:48.300] |
Roll Northumbria roll |
| [01:53.968] |
{Chorus} |
| [02:11.617] |
And it's one for the hot sun above |
| [02:16.320] |
Two for the empire we love |
| [02:19.556] |
And it's three for the fire that burns down below |
| [02:24.321] |
Roll on Northumbria |
| [02:28.259] |
Roll Northumbria roll |
| [02:33.652] |
So come all you good workmen, beware the command |
| [02:38.085] |
That comes down on high from the desk of a man |
| [02:41.951] |
Who's never held steel or torch in his hands |
| [02:46.330] |
Roll Northumbria roll |
| [02:49.646] |
For atop a wild breaker the cracks in her frame |
| [02:54.221] |
Spilled 'er black guts all across the wild main |
| [02:58.114] |
She limped away through an ocean of flame |
| [03:02.322] |
Roll Northumbria roll, me boys |
| [03:06.365] |
Roll Northumbria roll |
| [03:11.682] |
And it's one for the hot sun above |
| [03:16.268] |
Two for the empire we love |
| [03:19.637] |
And it's three for the fire that burns down below |
| [03:24.319] |
Roll on Northumbria |
| [03:28.315] |
Roll Northumbria roll |
