Come drive me down to the central station

For some damn town that's god-forsaken

Fare thee well, Northumberland

Although I'll go where the lady takes me
                                G
She'll never tell what's in her hand

I do not know what fate awaits me

Fare thee well, Northumberland

Longs to dwell in the borderlands

The north-east shore and the river valleys

Fare thee well, Northumberland

I may not stay, I'm bound for leaving
                              C/G
I'm bound to ramble and to roam
       C
I only say my heart is grieving

I would not gamble on my coming home
