[C]
Come drive me down to Central Station I hate to leave my river tied
For some damn town that's got forsaken Fetty Wedd and Northumberland
Although I'll go where the lady takes me She'll never tell what's in her hand
I do not know what fate awaits me Fetty Wedd and
[A] Northumberland
[G] [C] My heart beats for my streets and alleys Longs to [F] dwell [G] in the [C] borderland
The North East Shore and the river valleys Fetty
[G] [C] Wedd and Northumberland
I may not stay, I'm bound for leavin' Bound to ramble and [Gm] roam
[G] I [C] only say my heart is grieving I [F] would not [G] gamble on my [C] coming home
Roll on, Charlie boy, roll on [Cm] [C]
Roll on, Charlie boy, roll on
Roll on, Charlie boy, [Cm] roll [C] on Roll [Gm] on, [C] Charlie boy, roll on
So drive me down to Central Station I hate to leave [Gm] [F] my [C] river tied
For some damn town that's got forsaken Goodbye, [G] [C] old friend of mine
[F] Although I'll go where the [C] lady takes me She'll never tell [Gm] what's in her hand
I [C] do not know what fate awaits me Fetty [F] [Gm] Wedd and [C] Northumberland
Roll on, Charlie boy, roll on Roll on, Charlie boy, roll on
Roll on, Charlie boy, roll on Roll on, Charlie boy, roll on

She'll never tell [G] what's in her hand.
[Gm] [C] I do not know what fate awaits me, fairly well, not normally.
