[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]
