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

   Em
For when the Egyptians they closed the Red Sea
    Am
And call came on high from the powers that be
   C
To build a royal monster right down on the key
B7               Em
Roll Northumbria Roll me boys
B7               Em

Carpathia Vengeance celestial call
Am
She was the tanker to out-size them all
         C
From the banks of the Mersey to the port of the Laul
B7               Em
Roll Northumbria Roll

     Em
And fair Princess Anne threw a bottle of wine
    Am
And watch as the giants set down in the Tyne
C
What lay ahead could no mortal divine
B7               Em
Roll Northumbria Roll me boys

And it's one for the hot sun above
B7                    Em
Two for the empire we love
         C
And it's three for the fire that burns down below

So come all ya good workmen beware the command
     Am
That comes down on high from the desk of a man
      C
Who's never held steel or torch in his hands
B7               Em

     Em
For atop a wild breaker the cracks in her frame
Am
Spilled her black guts all across the wild Maine
    C
And she limped away through an ocean of flame
