GO!MOVE!SHIFT!
Born in the middle of the afternoon
In a horse-drawn carriage on the old A5
The big twelve wheeler shook my bed
You can't stay here the po1iceman said
You'd better get born in someplace else
Chorus
-
Move
along! Get along! Move along! Get along! Go! Move! Shift !
Born in the common by a building site
where the ground was rutted by the trail of wheels
The local Christians said to me .
You'II lower the price of property
Chorus!
Born at potato picking time
In an old bow tent by a tatty field
The farmer said the work's all done
It's time that you was moving on
Chorus!
Born at the back of a hawthorn hedge
Where the black hoar frost lay on the ground
No Eastern kings came bearing gifts
Instead the order came to shift
Chorus!
The Eastern sky was full of stars
and one shone brighter than the rest
The wise came so stern and strict
And brought the order to evict
Chorus!
Wagon,tent or trailer born
Last month,last year or on far off days
Born here or a thousand oiles away
There's always men nearby who say
Chorus!
