Intro :
I am Jeremiah Dixon
I am a Geordie boy
A glass of wine with you, sir
And the ladi es I'll enj oy
All Durham and North umberland
Is m easured up by m y own hand
It was my fa te from bir th
To make my mark upon the earth. ..
He calls me Charlie Mason
A stargazer am I
It seems that I was born
To c hart the evening sk y
They'd cut me out for ba king brea d
But I had o ther dream s instea d
This bak er's boy from the w est country
Would join the Royal Society...
We are s ailing t o Philade lphia
A world aw ay from the coa ly Ty ne
Sailing to P hiladelp hia
To draw the l ine
A M ason-Dixon Line
Now you're a good surveyor, Dixon
But I swear you'll make me mad
The West will kill us both
You g ullible Geordie la d
You t alk of li bert y
How c an America be free
A G eordie and a bak er's boy
In the forests of the Iroqu ois...
Now hold your head up, Mason
See America lies there
The morning tide has raised
The ca pes of Delaware
Come up and fe el the sun
A new m orning is begun
Another day will make it cl ear
Why your stars should guide us here ...
We are s ailing t o Philade lphia
A world away from the c oaly Tyne
Sailing to P hiladelp hia
To draw the l ine
A M ason-Dixon Line
A M ason-Dixon Line
