Mark Knopfler - Border Reiver lyrics

rate me

Southern bound from Glasgow town, she's shining in the sun

<br />my Scotstoun lassie , on a border run

<br />We're whistling down the hillsides and tearing up the climbs

<br />I'm just a thiever, stealing time

<br />In the Border Reiver.

<br />

<br />Three hundred thousand on the clock and plenty more to go

<br />Crash box and lever she needs the heel and toe

<br />Shes not too cold in winter but she cooks me in the heat

<br />I'm a six foot driver but you can't adjust the seat

<br />in the Border Reiver

<br />

<br />Sure as the sunrise, that's what they say about the Albion

<br />Sure as the sunrise, that's what they say about the Albion

<br />She's an Albion, she's an Albion

<br />

<br />The ministry dont worry me my paperworks alright

<br />They can't touch me, I got my sleep last night

<br />Its knocking out a living wage in nineteen sixty nine

<br />I'm just a thiever, stealing time

<br />In the Border reiver.

<br />

<br />Sure as the sunrise, that's what they say about the Albion

<br />Sure as the sunrise, that's what they say about the Albion

<br />She's an Albion, she's an Albion<br /><br />
