AmBorn in the middle of the afternoon
DIn a horsedrawn carriage on the Gold AAm-5
The big twelve wheeler shook my bed
DYou can't stAmay here the poDliceman sEmaid

AmMove along gGet along
AmMove along Gget along
FGo! GMove! AmShift
AmBorn in the common by a building site
DWhere the ground was rutted by the Gtrail of Amwheels
The local Christian said to me
You'll Dlower the Amprice of DproperEmty
AmYou'd better geGt born in Dsome place Emelse
AmMove along gGet along
AmMove along Gget along
FGo! GMove! AmShift
AmBorn at the back of a hawthorn hedge
DWhere the black hoar frost lay on the groundG  Am  
No eastern kings came bearing gifts
DInstead the order cAmame to DshiftEm
