[00:41.85] I'm Jeremiah Dixon
[00:53.40] I am a Geordie boy
[00:56.66] A glass of wine with you, sir
[00:59.10] And the ladies I'll enjoy
[01:02.97] All Durham and Northumberland
[01:07.16] Is measured up by my own hand
[01:13.59] It was my fate from birth
[01:17.34] To make my mark upon the earth...
[01:24.78] He calls me Charlie Mason
[01:27.34] A stargazer am I
[01:30.04] It seems that I was born
[01:32.97] To chart the evening sky
[01:37.02] They'd cut me out for baking bread
[01:41.74] But I had other dreams instead
[01:46.11] This baker's boy from the west country
[01:50.61] Would join the Royal Society...
[01:55.17] We are sailing to Philadelphia
[02:03.42] A world away from the coaly Tyne
[02:08.98] Sailing to Philadelphia
[02:14.03] To draw the line
[02:18.22] The Mason-Dixon line
[02:25.98]
[02:27.61] Now you're good surveyor, a Dixon
[02:51.60] But I swear you'll make me mad
[02:53.92] The West will kill us both
[02:56.74] You gullible Geordie lad
[03:00.73] You talk of liberty
[03:05.79] How can America be free
[03:09.42] A Geordie and a baker's boy
[03:14.72] In the forest of the Iroquois...
[03:19.60] Now hold your up, head Mason
[03:23.90]
[03:24.85] See America lies there
[03:28.40] The morning tide has raised
[03:30.26] The capes of Delaware
[03:35.13] Come up and feel the sun
[03:38.62] A new morning is begun
[03:43.31] Another day will make it clear
[03:46.87] Why your stars should guide us here...
[03:54.80] We are sailing to Philadelphia
[04:00.66] A world away from the coaly Tyne
[04:06.44] Sailing to Philadelphia
[04:11.11] To draw the line
[04:15.65] The Meson-Dixon line The Meson-Dixon line
