Border Reiver |
Southern bound from Glasgow town |
She’s shining in the sun |
My Scotstoun lassie on a border run |
We’re whistling down the hillsides and tearing up the climbs |
I’m just a thiever stealing time in the Border Reiver |
Three hundred thousand on the clock and plenty more to go |
Crash box and lever — she needs the heel and toe |
She’s not too cold in winter but she cooks me in the heat |
I’m a six-foot driver but you can’t adjust the seat in the Border Reiver |
«Sure as the Sunrise» |
That’s what they say about the Albion |
«Sure as the Sunrise», that’s what they say about the Albion |
And she’s an Albion |
She’s an Albion |
The Ministry don’t worry me my paperwork’s alright |
They can’t touch me |
I got my sleep last night |
It’s knocking out a living wage in 1969 |
I’m just a thiever stealing time in the Border Reiver |
«Sure as the Sunrise» |
That’s what they say about the Albion |
«Sure as the Sunrise», that’s what they say about the Albion |
And she’s an Albion |
She’s an Albion |
