Am Born in the middle of the afternoon D G Am In a horse drawn carriage on the old A5 Am The big twelve wheeler shook my bed D Am D Em "You can't stay here" the policeman said CHORUS Am G D Em You'd better get born in some place else Am G Am G So move along, get along, Move along, get along F G Am Go! Move! Shift! Born in the common by a building site Where the ground was rutted by the trail of wheels The local Christian said to me You'll lower the price of property CHORUS Six in the morning out in Inchicore The guards came through the wagon door John Maughan was arrested in the cold A traveling boy just ten years old Mary Joyce was living at the side of the road No halting place and no fixed abode The vigilantes came to the Darndale site And they shot her son in the middle of the night CHORUS Wagon, tent or trailer born Last month, last year or in far off days Born here or a thousand miles away There's always men nearby who'll say CHORUS
