What is a Geordie

What is a Geordie? Many people have often ask
To give a definition is not an easy task
Some think he is a heathen, who grows leeks and lives on beer.
But if you listen for a while, I'll give you my idea.

When God first made this Universe, his handy work was grand.
He made a man of every creed, to cultivate each land.
He made Eskimos for Iceland, Africans to stand the heat.
But when it came to Geordieland, he says I'm really beat.
So he made man of iron with muscles of forged steel.
For heaving coal and building ships, a job that he done weel.
And just to finish off his job, as least so I've been told.
He completed his first Geordie, by giving him a heart of Gold.
So when you ask! What is a Geordie? Just stop and think again.
If it wasn't for Geordie Stivinson, we'd had ne railway train.
And, auld Joe Swan from Sunderland, first made electric light.
And St George slew the Dragon, I'm very sure that's right.

So D'ye wonder that I'm proud to be a Geordie lad.
A first class team, the world's best beer, surely that can't be bad.
and when me earthly days are done, and I leave this world of sin.

I'd like to hear St Peter say,

Howay Geordie lad,
it's your turn to get them in.
