“Sailing to Philadelphia”— Mark Knopfler
So long ago... and so clear a divide.

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...
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
A world away from the coaly Tyne
Sailing to Philadelphia
To draw the line
The Mason-Dixon Line
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
A Geordie and a baker’s boy
In the forests of the Iroquois...
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 has begun
Another day will make it clear
Why your stars should guide us here...
We are sailing to Philadelphia
A world away from the coaly Tyne
Sailing to Philadelphia
To draw the line
The Mason-Dixon Line
I like it though!

Not the best quality rendition, but check out the beginning- I think this was from "The Mike Douglas Show"!
Good morning, Everyone.
Good morning to our
Military, our Allies, and their families.
Thank you for all you do.
Thank you, fatima, for preparing the Canteen
for todays activities.
I know I'm sounding like a broken record, but
I need post, check out some of the songs, then
out for a walk on this cool morning.
I'll be back to catch up.
Please stay right where you are.
Chat up the military and/or their families.
Remember, the Canteen is ALWAYS
Come in and sit for a while.
There's always plenty of coffee, tea
pancakes, conversation, silliness,
and plain old BS

Kings X - Fool You

As I wandered
Walked along on a lazy path
I shook a hand
He seemed to know so much more
So I listened
Tried my best just to understand
Then I followed
To where I knew nothing of
Over the hill
Come see the thrill awaiting you
There’s so much more
Go through the door
Walk in the big parade...learn just what to say
They will all try to fool you
Don’t believe anything. I’m your everything.
They will all try to fool you.
And don’t ever think you’ll see another friend.
