'Twas late 65 at the old wall sea yard
Dm Am
She was commissioned to haul the black tar
F Dm Am
And built the Northumbria there on the bar

For when the Egyptians they closed the Red Sea
Dm Am
And call came on high from the powers that be
F Dm Am
To build a royal monster right down on the key
Em Am
Roll Northumbria Roll me boys
Em Am

She was the tanker to out-size them all
F Dm Am
Banks of the Merci to the port of the Laul

And fair Princess Anne threw a bottle of wine
Dm Am
And watch as the giants set down in the Tyne
F Dm Am
What lay ahead could no mortal divine
Em Am
Roll Northumbria Roll me boys

That comes down on high from the desk of a man

Who's never held steel or torch in his hands

Am
For atop a wild breaker the cracks in her frame
Dm Am
Spilled her black guts all across the wild Maine
F Dm Am
She limped away through an ocean of flame
Em Am
Roll Northumbria Roll me boys
Em Am
Roll Northumbria Roll
