Go, Move, Shift Songtext
von Christy Moore

Born in the middle of the afternoon
In a horsedrawn carriage on the old A-5
The big twelve wheeler shook my bed
You can′t stay here the policemansaid

You'd better get born in some place else
Move along get along
Move along get along
Go! Move! Shift

Born in the common by a building site
Where the ground was rutted by the trail of wheels
The local Christian said to me
You′ll 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 hawthorn hedge
Where the black hole frost lay on the ground
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 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
Move along, get along
Move along, get along
Go! Move! Shift
Move along, get along
Move along, get along
Go!
Move!
Shift
