Tune Banjo to "G"
Am Dm G Swan swan hummingbird Am Dm Hurrah we are all free now Am Dm G What noisy cats are we Am Dm Girl and dog he bore his cross Am Dm G Swan swan hummingbird Am Dm G Am A long low time ago people talk to me Em F Johnny Reb what's the price of pans Em F Forty a piece or three for one dollar Em F Hey captain don't you want to buy Em C G Some bone chains and toothpicks {same as first verse} Night weaves her hair chains Years you wouldn't bring back sing Wooden beams and dove tails sweep I struck that picture ninety times I walked that path a hundred ninety Long low time ago people talk to me G Bm A pistol hot cup of rhyme C D The whiskey is water the water is wine G Bm C C/B Marching feet Johnny Reb what's the price of heroes Six and one half dozen the other Tell that to the captain's mother Hey captain don't you want to buy Some bone chains and toothpicks Night weaves her hair chains Swan swan hummingbird Hurrah we are all free now What noisy cats are we Long low time ago people talk to me A pistol hot cup of rhyme {end on Am} The whiskey is water the water is wine
