I was born by the river,
Just like this river,
I've been moving ever since.
Ain't got no body to call my own
You know.
I've been moving
Since the day I was born.
Life is a game just made for fun,
I don't need no body.
No, I don't love no one.
Yes, I'm a mover baby,
Now get out of my way will ya?
Don't try to stop me now.
Following the footpath one fine day,
When I asked a wise man which was the way,
He said «Follow your heart and look for yourself,
And come back and tell me what you have learned».
Yes, I'm a mover.
Went back and told him I'd found me a wife,
Eleven children
And a real good life.
Told him I'd left this happy home,
Cause I need to return
To the long winding road.
Yes, I'm a mover.
