Southern bound from Glasgow town
Shes shining in the sun
My Scotsoun Lassie
On the border run
Were whistling down the hillsides
and tearing up the climbs
Im just a thiever
Stealing time
In the border reiver
Eight hundred thousand on the clock
And plenty more to go
Crash box and lever
She needs the heel and toe
Shes not too cold in winter
But she cooks me in the heat
Im a six foot driver
But you cant adjust the seat
In the border reiver
Sure as the sun rise
Thats what they say about the Albion
Sure as the sun rise
Thats what they say about the Albion
Shes an Albion
Shes an Albion
The Ministry dont bother me
My paperworks alright
They cant touch me
I got my sleep last night
Its knocking out a living wage in 1969
Im just a thiever
Stealing time
In the border reiver
Sure as the sun rise
Thats what they say about the Albion
Sure as the sun rise
Thats what they say about the Albion
Shes an Albion
Shes an Albion
