1. Born in the middle of the afternoon
in a horse drawn wagon on the old A5
The big 12 wheelers shook me bed
you can’t stop here the policeman said
You better get born in someplace else
Move along, get along,
Move along , get along
Go, Move, shift!
2. Born at the tattie lifting time
In an old bow tent near a tattie field
The fairmer says the work’s aa done
It’s time that you wis movin’ on
You’d better get born in some place else
Move along, get along, etc…
3. Born on a common near a building site,
Where the ground is rutted wi’ trailers’ wheels
The local people said to me
You lower the price of property
You’d better get born in some place else
Move along, get along, etc…
4. Born in a country full of war and fear
You flee to Britain where you think it’s safe
The politicians say to me
Not wanted here as a refugee
We’re sending you back from where you came
Move along, get along, etc…
5. Living in Dungavel or in Yarlswood
Children imprisoned in detention camps
They come for you at the crack of dawn
And herd you onto a waiting plane
The government says ‘œNo Asylum Here‘
Move along, get along, etc…
