Текст пісні
Born in the middle of the afternoon
In a horse-drawn wagon on the old A5
Well, the big twelve-wheeler shook my bed
"You can't stay here", the policeman said
"You'd better get born in some place else
Move along, get along, move along, get along
Go, move, shift"
Born at potato-picking time
In an old bow tent near a tatty field
Well, the farmer said, "The work's all done
It's time that you were moving on
You'd better get born in some place else
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
Well, the local Christian said to me
"You'll lower the price of property
You'd better get born in some place else
Move along, get along, move along, get along
Go, move, shift"
Born at the back of a blackthorn hedge
When the white hoarfrost lay all around
Well, no eastern kings came bearing gifts
Instead the orders came to shift
You'd better get born in some place else
Move along, get along, move along, get along
Go, move, shift"
Winter sky was hung with stars
One shone brighter than the rest
Well, the wise men came so stern and strict
And brought the orders to evict
You'd better get born in some place else
Move along, get along, move along, get along
Go, move, shift"
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
You'd better get born in some place else
Move along, get along, move along, get along
Go, move, shift"
