Moving On Song Lyrics - Singles - Seeger Peggy

MOVING ON SONG 

(Ewan MacColl and Peggy Seeger) 

Born in the middle of an 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 better get born someplace else 

So move along, get along, move along, get along, 

Go, move, shift 

Born in the tatie lifting time 

In an old bow tent in a tatie field 

The farmer said, The work's all done 

It's time that you were moving on 

Born in a wagon on 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 

Born at the back of a blackthorn hedge 

When the white hoarfrost lay all around 

No wise men came bearing gifts 

Instead the order came to shift 

The 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 evict 

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
