The Moving On Song. by Ewan MacColl (1915 –1989) 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”.
