the longest johns - roll northumbria lyrics
[verse 1]
’twas late 65 at the old wall sea yard
she was commissioned to haul the black tar
built the northumbria there on the bar
roll northumbria roll
for when the egpytians they closed the red sea
a call came on high from the powers that be
to build a royal monster right down on the quay
roll, northumbria, roll me boys
roll, northumbria, roll
[chorus]
and it’s one for the hot sun above
two for the empire we love
and it’s three for the fires that burn down below
roll on northumbria
roll, northumbria, roll
[verse 2]
carpathia, vengence, celestial call
she was the tankеr to outsize them all
from the banks of thе mersey to the port of halal
roll, northumbria, roll
and fair princess anne threw a bottle of wine
and watched as the giant sat down in the tyne
what lay head could no mortal divine
roll, northumbria, roll me boys
roll, northumbria, roll
[chorus]
and it’s one for the hot sun above
two for the empire we love
and it’s three for the fires that burn down below
roll on northumbria
roll, northumbria, roll
[verse 3]
some come all ye good workmen, beware the command
that comes down on high from the desk of man
who’s never held steel or torch in his hand
roll, northumbria, roll
for atop a wild breaker the cracks in frame
spilled her black guts across the wild main
she limped away through an ocean of flame
roll, northumbria, roll me boys
roll, northumbria, roll
[chorus]
and it’s one for the hot sun above
two for the empire we love
and it’s three for the fires that burn down below
roll on northumbria
roll, northumbria, roll
and it’s one for the hot sun above
two for the empire we love
and it’s three for the fires that burn down below
roll on northumbria
roll, northumbria, roll
roll on northumbria
roll, northumbria, roll
