Border Reiver

Am

Southern bound from Glasgow town

She’s shining in the sun

Am

My Scotsoun Lassie

On the border run

Am

We’re whistling down the hillsides

and tearing up the climbs

I’m just a thiever

Stealing time

Am

In the border reiver

Am

Eight hundred thousand on the clock

And plenty more to go

Am

Crash box and lever

She needs the heel and toe

Am

She’s not too cold in winter

But she cooks me in the heat

Am

I’m a six foot driver

But you can’t adjust the seat

Am

In the border reiver

“Sure as the sun rise”

That’s what they say about the Albion

“Sure as the sun rise”

That’s what they say about the Albion

Dm

She’s an Albion

Am

She’s an Albion

Am

The Ministry don’t bother me

My paperwork’s alright

Am

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

Am

In the border reiver

“Sure as the sun rise”

That’s what they say about the Albion

“Sure as the sun rise”

That’s what they say about the Albion

Dm

She’s an Albion

Am

She’s an Albion
