Bilingual
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
So move along, get along
Move along, get along
Go, move, shift
Born in the tattie howkin' time
In an old bow-tent near a tattie field
The farmer said the works all done
It's time that you was movin' on
You'd better get born in some place else
So move along, get along
Move along, get along
Go, move, shift
Born on a common near a building site
Where the ground is rutted by the trailers wheels
The local people said to me
You'd lower the price of property
You'd better get born in some place else
So move along, get along
Move along, get along
Go, move, shift
Born at the back of a blackthorn hedge
When the white hoar frost lay all around
No eastern kings came bearing gifts
Instead the order came to shift
You'd better get born in some place else
So move along, get along
Move along, get along
Go, move, shift
Winter sky was hung with stars
And one shone brighter than the rest
The wise men came so stern and strict
And brought the order to effect
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 say
You'd better get born in some place else
Move along, get along
Move along, get along
Go, move, shift
