Barbara Dickson - Sullivan's John
CAPO: 1st Fret
[INTRO:] G
[VERSE 1:]
D/F# G F
Oh, Sullivan's John, to the road you've gone
G D/F# G
Far away from your country home
F
You've gone with the tinker's daughter
G D/A
For along the road to roam
G F
Oh, Sullivan's John you won't stick it long
G D/F#
Till your belly will soon get slack
G D/F# G F
As along the road with a mighty load
G D/F# G
And a toodlebox on your back
[VERSE 2:]
D/F# G F
And it's Katy Mulvay with her neat baby
G D/F# G
Behind on her back, strapped on
F
She'd a long ( ? ) stick into her hand
G D/A
For to drive her donkey on
G F
Enquiring at every farmhouse
G D/F#
As along the road she would pass
G D/F# G F
Oh, it's, "Where would I get an old pot to mend?"
G D/F# G
Or it's, "Where would I buy an ass?"
[VERSE 3:]
D/F# G F
There's an ass selling fair in the County Clare
G D/F# G
At a place they call Spancel Hill
F
Where my brother Bill 'ceived a rap on the head
G D/A
And poor Paddy they tried to kill
G F
They bundled him up in a donkey 'n cart
G D/F#
All along the road to sand
G D/F# G F
Oh, bad luck to the day from my home I did stray
G D/F# G
For to join with a tinker's band
[VERSE 4:]
D/F# G F
And it's Sullivan's John, to the road you've gone
G D/F# G
Far away from your country home
F
You've gone with the tinker's daughter
G D/A
For along the road to roam
G F
Well, Sullivan's John you won't stick it long
G D/F#
Till your belly will soon get slack
G D/F# G F
As along the road with a mighty load
G D/F# G
And a toodlebox on your back
