D
Good people give ear to me story,
                              C                    D
pay attention, and none of your lip,
for I've brought you five lads and their daddy,
                        C                D
intending to build ye's a ship.

D
Wallsend is wor habitation,
                              C                 D
it's the place we was all born and bred
and there's nay finer lads in the nation
                                C            D
and none are more gallantly led.

And what have we got, but the cranes above us soaring?
A                                       D                     E                     A
The commotion and the clamour in the welding of the steel?

Where we work in horizontal rain, and shiver in the cold.

Not a promise of another with the punching of the clock.
