Born in the middle of the afternoon
In a horse-drawn wagon on the old A5
The big twelve-wheeler shook my bed
“You can’t stop 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 the tattie liftin time
In an old bell tent near a tattie field
The farmer says “The work’s a’ done,
It’s time that you were movin 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 is rutted with the tractor 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, move along, get along
Go, Move, Shift”
 
Born at the back of the blackthorn hedge
With the white hoar frost lyin’ all around
No eastern kings came bearing gifts
Instead the order came to shift
“You’d better get born in some place else
Move along, get along, move along, get along
Go, Move, Shift”
 
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 order 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 week, 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
Move along, get along, move along, get along
Go, Move, Shift
Move along, get along, move along, get along
Go, Move, Shift”
