Border Song

Border Song Lyrics

Holy Moses I have been removed
I have seen the spectre he has been here too
Distant cousin from down the line
Brand of people who ain't my kind
Holy Moses I have been removed

Holy Moses I have been deceived
Now the wind has changed direction and I'll have to leave
Won't you please excuse my frankness but it's not my cup of tea
Holy Moses I have been deceived

I'm going back to the border
Where my affairs, my affairs ain't abused
I can't take any more bad water
Been poisoned from my head down to my shoes, ohh

Holy Moses I have been deceived

Holy Moses let us live in peace
Let us strive to find a way to make all hatred cease
There's a man over there
What's his colour? I don't care

He's my brother let us live in peace
Ohh, he's my brother let us live in peace
Ohh, he's my brother let us, let us live in peace
