Pack up the gear and bring the van round Ain't seen the sun and the summer's gone Cold and I'm tired and I'm sick of being rained on I'm moving on South, North, or west East is the best Because I live there Give me my money maybe kiss me Ruffle my head and shake my hand Buy me a beer then tell me you'll miss me I'm moving on I'm gonna miss that old piano It did alright for bar-room song I would have killed for my old guitar though I'm moving on South, North or West East is the best Ask young Alec Back to the marshes and the seagulls Back to the porch where my lovelight shone Back to like a jackdaw to a chimney I'm moving on
