[00:01.60] Sailing to Philadelphia
[00:02.65] Mark Knopfler
[00:03.22]
[00:21.71] I'm Jeremiah Dixon
[00:23.52]
[00:24.45] I am a Geordie boy
[00:26.01]
[00:26.98] A glass of wine with you' sir
[00:28.96] And the ladies I'll enjoy
[00:30.54]
[00:32.66] All Durham and Northumberland
[00:34.67]
[00:36.07] Is measured up by my own hand
[00:39.13]
[00:41.83] It was my fate from birth
[00:43.87]
[00:45.69] To make my mark upon the earth...
[00:48.02]
[00:52.33] He calls me Charlie Mason
[00:53.90]
[00:54.67] A stargazer am I
[00:56.37]
[00:57.63] It seems that I was born
[00:59.86] To chart the evening sky
[01:01.81]
[01:02.93] They'd cut me out for baking bread
[01:05.55]
[01:07.17] But I had other dreams instead
[01:09.31]
[01:11.56] This baker's boy from the west country
[01:13.87]
[01:15.83] Would join the Royal Society...
[01:17.86]
[01:22.18] We are sailing to Philadelphia
[01:25.05]
[01:28.00] A world away from the coaly Tyne
[01:31.46]
[01:32.28] Sailing to Philadelphia
[01:34.93]
[01:38.17] To draw the line
[01:39.94]
[01:41.89] The Mason-Dixon line
[01:44.95]
[02:08.34] Now you're a good surveyor' Dixon
[02:10.71] But I swear you'll make me mad
[02:12.48]
[02:13.25] The West will kill us both
[02:15.64] You gullible Geordie lad
[02:16.92]
[02:19.89] You talk of liberty
[02:21.06]
[02:23.57] How can America be free
[02:25.66]
[02:27.96] A Geordie and a baker's boy
[02:30.35]
[02:31.86] In the forest of the Iroquois...
[02:34.26]
[02:38.63] Now hold your head up' Mason
[02:40.67] See America lies there
[02:42.69]
[02:44.15] The morning tide has raised
[02:46.40] The capes of Delaware
[02:47.67]
[02:50.19] Come up and feel the sun
[02:52.02]
[02:54.35] A new morning is begun
[02:55.91]
[02:58.06] Another day will make it clear
[03:00.19]
[03:02.39] Why your stars should guide us here...
[03:04.73]
[03:08.75] We are sailing to Philadelphia
[03:12.20]
[03:14.60] A world away from the coaly Tyne
[03:17.59]
[03:18.90] Sailing to Philadelphia
[03:21.62]
[03:24.61] To draw the line
[03:26.50]
[03:28.82] The Mason-Dixon line
