My name is Geordie McIntyre

and the Bairns don't

even have a fire

so the wife says Geordie

go to London Town

And if they don't give us

half a chance

don't even give us

a second glance

then Geordie with my

blessings burn them down

Come on follow

the Geordie boys

they'll fill your

heart with joy

they're marching

for their freedom now

Come on follow

the Jarrow lads

they'll make your

heart feel glad

they're sayin' now

yes, now is the hour

My name is little Billy White

and I know what's wrong

and I know what's right

and the wife says Geordie

go to London Town

And if they don't give us

a couple of Bob

won't even give you

a decent job

then Geordie with my

blessings burn them down

Come on follow

the Geordie boys

they'll fill your

heart with joy

they're marching

for their freedom now

Come on follow

the Jarrow lads

they'll try and make your

heart feel glad

they're sayin' now

yes, now is the hour

Well, I can hear them

and I can feel them

and it's as just as if

they were here today

I can see them

I can feel them

and I'm thinkin' nothin's

changed much today

Now all their dreams

must fade away and die

but they will come

and hit you in the eye

Now's the time to realise

that time goes on

nothin' changes

changes, changes

But I can feel them

I can see them

and it's as just as if

they were here today

I can feel them

and I need them

and I'm thinkin' nothin's

changed much today

Now all their dreams

must fade away and die

but they will come

and hit you in the eye

Now's the time to realise

that time goes on

nothin' changes

changes, changes

My name is

little Alan Price

I tried to be nice

all of my life

but I'm afraid that up

to date it doesn't work

Because when you

lay some money down

the people try

to put you down

now where do I stand

either side or not

Come on follow

this Geordie boy

he'll try and fill

your heart with joy

we're marching for

our freedom now

Come on follow

this jarrow lad

he'll try and make

your heart feel glad

we're sayin' now

yes, now is the hour.....
