Moving On Song - Norma Waterson with Martin & Eliza Carthy
"Yorkshire-born folk singer Norma Waterson explains the importance of folk music as oral history, then performs the "Movin' On Song", penned by Peggy Seeger and Ewan McColl. The lyrics empathise with the millions of people in history who were displaced, unwanted and thus told to "move... shift", such as gypsies, itinerant workers and the homeless."
