Lyrics Move It On - Archie Roach

Oh i was born in mooroopna
Really by the riverbank
Yeah i was born in mooroopna
Really by the riverbank
Then the queen come and visit up
Had to move it on again
Moved across to dashes path day
Run a river it did rise (oh yeah)
Yeah moved across to dashes path day
Run a river it did rise
At the edge of the rubbish tear
I marched the rubbish and the fly
Then the queen come and visit back in 1956
Yeah the queen come and visit back in 1956
And moved us on to rumbalara
Moved us off the ruby's tale

Yeah ahh woo woo woo woo
Ahh woo woo woo woo woo woo woo
Oh yeah
Yeah ahh woo woo woo woo
Ahh woo woo woo woo woo woo woo
Woo woo woo woo woo woo woo
Woo woo woo woo woo woo woo

We moved back to old framlingham
Where my mother she was born
Yeah moved back to old framlingham
Where my mother she was born
And all my mommy's people, they welcomed us home
One day they come and took me
Lord they took me away (oh yeah)
Yeah one day they come and took me
Yeah they took me away
And you know that it still hurts me
Up to this very day
And i was raise on the streets
I'm known by these fruit (i ain't)
Said i was raised on the street
And i'm known by these fruit
I was raised on the street
But the street can be so cruel

Yeah ahh woo woo woo woo
Ahh woo woo woo woo woo woo woo
Yeah ahh woo woo woo woo
Said the woo woo woo woo woo woo woo
Woo woo woo woo woo woo woo
Woo woo woo woo woo woo woo

Oh then i started drinking
Oh got drunk everyday
Oh yeah
Yeah then i started drinking
Don got drunk everyday
To try to lose these blues
But they wouldn't go away

That I was born in mooroopna
Really by the riverbank (oh yeah)
Yeah i was born in mooroopna
Really by the riverbank
Then the queen come and visit
Had to move it on again
We got that move along
Get outta here and don't come back
To the ocean blue (yeah)
