I am Jere[Em]miah Dixon, I am a Geordie boy,
a glass of wine with you, sir , and the ladies I'll enjoy. [G] [C]

He call[Em]s me Charlie Mason, a stargazer am I,
it seems that I was born to chart the evening [G]sky. [C]
They'd cut m[D]e out for baking bread[G], but I had [C]other dream[D]s instead, [G] [C]
this bake[D] r's boy from the west coun[G] try would [C]join the Royal Soc[Em]iety.[D]

A Geo[D]rdie and a bake[G]r's boy in th[C]e forest[Em]s of the Iroquois.[D]

Now hol[Em]d your head up, Mason, see America lies there [G] [C]
the mo[D]rning tide has ra[G]ised, the c[C]apes of Delaw[D]are. [G] [C]
[D]Come up and feel the s[G]un, a n[C]ew morn[D]ing is begun, [G] [C]
