Moving on Song
Born in the middle of the afternoon
In a horsedrawn carriage on the old A5
The big twelve wheeler shook my bed, "You can't stay here" the policeman said.
Chorus:
You'd better get born in some place else.
So 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 Christian said to me, "You'll lower the price of property."
Chorus:
Born at potato picking time
In a noble tent in a tatie 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 hole frost lay on the ground.
SongtexteNo 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 men came so stern and strict
And brought the orders to evict
Chorus:
Wagon, tent or trailer born,
Last month, last year or in far off days.
Born here or a thousand miles away
There's always men nearby who'll say
Chorus:
