	[Am] Born in the middle of the afternoon
	In a [D] horsedrawn carriage on the [G] old A-[Am]-5
	[Am] The big twelve wheeler shook my bed,
	You [D] can't stay [Am] here the po-[D]-liceman [Em] said.
	CHORUS
	You'd [Am] better get [G] born in [D] some place [Em] else.
	So [Am] move along [Em] get along
	[Am] move along [Em] get along,
	[F] Go [G] Move [Am] 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."
	You'd better get born in some place else.
	So move along, get along, Move along, get along,
	Go! Move! Shift!
	Born at potato picking time
	In a noble tent in a tatie field.
	The farmer said, "The work's all done
	It's time that you was moving on."
	You'd better get born in some place else.
	So move along, get along, Move along, get along,
	Go! Move! Shift!
	Born at the back of a hawthorn hedge
	Where the black hole frost lay on the ground.
	No eastern kings came bearing gifts.
	Instead the order came to shift.
	You'd better get born in some place else.
	So move along, get along, Move along, get along,
	Go! Move! Shift!
	The eastern sky was full of stars
	And one shone brighter than the rest
	The wise men came so stern and strict
	And brought the orders to evict
	You'd better get born in some place else.
	So move along, get along, Move along, get along,
	Go! Move! Shift!
	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
	You'd better get born in some place else.
	So move along, get along, Move along, get along,
	Go! Move! Shift!
	The sleeve notes from 'Live at the Point"
	has two extra verses (added by Christy)
	Six in the morning out in Inchicore
	The guards came through the wagon door.
	John Maughan was arrested in the cold
	A travelling boy just ten years old.
	You'd better get born in some place else.
	So move along, get along, Move along, get along,
	Go! Move! Shift!
	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.
	You'd better get born in some place else.
	So move along, get along, Move along, get along,
	Go! Move! Shift!

	Am Born in the middle of the afternoon
	In a D horsedrawn carriage on the G old A Am 5

	So Am move along Em get along
	Am move along Em get along,
	F Go G Move Am Shift!
