Wanderin' Star

Shane MacGowan & The Popes

I was born under a wanderin' star

I was born under a wanderin' star

Wheels are made for rollin'

Mules are made to pack

I never seen a sight

That didn't look better lookin' back

I was born under a wanderin' star



Mud can make you pris'ner and

The plains can make you dry

Snow can burn your eyes

But only people make you cry

Home is made for comin' from

For dreams of goin' to

Which, with any luck

Will never come true



I was born under a wanderin' star

I was born under a wanderin' star

Do I know where hell is?

Hell is is hello

Heaven is goodbye forever

It's time for me to go



I was born under a wanderin' star

I was born under a wanderin' star



When I get to heaven

Tie me to a tree

Or I'll begin to roam

And soon you'll know where I'll be



I was born under a wanderin' star

I was born under a wanderin' star
