The Moving on Song Ewan MacColl

Born in the middle of the afternoon
In a horsedrawn wagon on the old A5
The big 12-wheelers shook my bed
"You can't stop here", the policeman said,

"You'd better get born in someplace else
So move along, get along,
Move along, get along,
Go! Move! Shift!"

Born in the tattie-howking time
In an auld bow tent near a tattie field
The fairmer said, "The wark's aa dune
It's time that ye was movin on"

"You'd better get born in someplace else
So move along, get along,
Move along, get along,
Go! Move! Shift!"

Born on a common near a building site
Where the ground was rutted by the trailer's wheels
The local people said to me
"You'll lower the price of property"

"You'd better get born in someplace else
So move along, get along,
Move along, get along,
Go! Move! Shift!"
