Big River

Walking on cobble stone little bits of skin and bone

  • Walking on cobble stone little bits of skin and bone
  • Jumping on the tram car for a ride
  • I can remember then I was just a boy of ten
  • Hanging out along the old quayside
  • Not all the capstans and the cargo boats
  • And stevadores are gone
  • To where all the old ships go
  • But memories just like the seas live on
  • That was when coal was king
  • The river was a living thing
  • And I was just a boy but it was mine
  • The coaly tyne
  • For this was a big river
  • I want you all to know that I was proud
  • This was a big river but that was long ago
  • Thats not now thats not now
  • My father was a working man
  • He earned our living with his hands
  • He had to cross the river every day
  • He picked up a union card out of the neptune yard
  • Mouths to feed and the bills to pay
  • Then came a time for him to sail across the sea
  • And far away
  • Finally when the war was won
  • You brought him home and home he stayed
  • And when his days were done under a golden sun
  • You carried him to where he longed to be
  • Back to the sea
  • For this was a big river
  • I want you all to know that I was proud
  • This was a big river but that was long ago
  • Thats not now
  • Thats not now
  • Thats not now
  • The neptune was the last to go
  • I heard it on my radio
  • And then they played the latest number one
  • But what do they do all day
  • And what are they supposed to say
  • What does a father tell his son
  • If you believed that theres a bond between our future
  • And our past
  • Then try to hold on to what we had
  • We build them strong we built to last
  • Cause this is a mighty town
  • Its built upon solid ground
  • And everything they tried so hard to kill
  • We will rebuild
  • For this was a big river
  • I want you all to know that I was proud
  • This was a big river but that was long ago
  • Thats not now
  • This is a big river
  • And in my heart I know it will rise again
  • The river will rise again
