Вступление:

1. I am
Jeremiah Dixon, I am a Geordie boy,
a glass
of wine with you, sir,
and
the ladies I'll
enjoy.
All Durham and
Northumberland
is
measured up by my own
hand,
it was
my fate
from birth
to make my mark upon the
earth.
2. He
calls me Charlie Mason, a stargazer am I,
it
seems that I was born
to
chart the evening
sky.
They'd cut me
out for
baking bread,
but I had
other dreams
instead,
this
baker's boy
from the west
country
would join the Royal
Society.
We
are sailing to
Philadelphia,
world away from the
coaly Tyne,
sailing to
Philadelphia
to
draw the
line, the
Mason-Dixon Line.
3. Now you're a good
surveyor, Dixon,
but I swear you'll make
me mad,
the West will
kill us both,
you gullible Geordie
lad.
You talk
of liberty,
how can America
be free?
А
Geordie and a
baker's boy
in
the forests of the
Iroquois.
4. Now hold
your head up, Mason,
see
America lies there,
the
morning tide has raised,
the capes of
Delaware.
Come up
and feel the
sun,
a new morning is
begun,
another day will
make it
clear,
why your stars should guide us
here.
We are
sailing to
Philadelphia,
world
away from the
coaly Tyne,
sailing to
Philadelphia
to draw the
line, the Mason-Dixon Line,
the Mason-Dixon LineКонцовка:
