Border Reiver

Southern bound from Glasgow town, she's shining in the sun My Scotstoun lassie, on the 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 heal and toe She's not to cold in winter but she cooks me in the heat I'm a six foot driver but you can 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 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 Its knocking out a living wage in nineteen sixty nine 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 She's an Albion, she's an Albion --- Border Reiver - Mark Knopfler
