 Am 
Born in the middle of the afternoon 
      D                       G    Am 
On a horse drawn wagon on the old A5 
     Am 
The big twelve wheelers shook my bed 
      D          Am        D         Em 
"You can't stop here" the policeman said 
        Am         G       D        Em 
"You'd better get born in someplace else" 


 Am          G          Am          G 
Move along, get along, move along, get along 
 F   G      Am 
Go, move, shift

 Am 
Born in the tattie hoking time 
      D                    G      Am 
In a canvas tent near the tattie field 
     Am 
The farmer says "Your work's all done 
      D         Am       D     Em 
It's time that you were moving on 
       Am         G       D        Em 
You'd better get born in someplace else"

 Am 
Born on a common near a building site 
            D                         G       Am 
Where the ground is rutted with the trailor wheels 
     Am 
The local people said to me 
      D          Am       D    Em 
"You lower the price of property 
       Am         G       D        Em 
You'd better get born in someplace else"

F G Am 



 Am 
Born at the back of a blackthorn hedge 
           D                   G     Am 
When the white hoare frost lay all around 
   Am 
No eastern kings came bearing gifts 
    D       Am     D        Em 
Instead the order came to shift 
       Am         G       D        Em 
You'd better get born in someplace else 


 Am          G          Am          G 
Move along, get along, move along, get along 
 F   G      Am 
Go, move, shift

     Am 
The winter sky was hung with stars 
    D                    G       Am 
And one shone brighter than the rest 
     Am 
The wise men came so stern and strict 
      D         Am     D   Em 
And brought the order to evict 
       Am         G       D        Em 
You'd better get born in someplace else 


 Am          G          Am          G 
Move along, get along, move along, get along 
 F   G      Am 
Go, move, shift

 Am 
Wagon, tent or trailor born 
      D                      G       Am 
Last month, last year or in far off days 
                 Am 
Born here or a thousand miles away 
        D       Am      D      Em 
There's always men nearby who say 
        Am         G       D        Em 
"You'd better get born in someplace else"

 F   G      Am 
Go, move, shift
