Fireman Joe McGee,

He bought a handsome love nest,

likes the firehouse.
She wears a crimson skirt,
a fireman's hat, red flannel shirt.
F#

Clang goes the bell and she's off,
boys,
A
in a cloud of confusion and dirt.
D
G
Oh, the fireman's ride,
C
the fireman's ride,
D
G
won't sit home by her fireside.
From all accounts,
C
D
she'd rather bounce in the
G
fireman's net.
F#
She leaps to the engine
Bm
and clings to the hose.
F#
E
F#

How she hangs on, nobody knows.

Out comes the net,
D
and then over she goes.

High up they throw her while she hollers,
G
More the fireman's bride.

C
High as a kite, ain't she a sight,

With his head bowed in grief,
McGee gave his badge
back to the chief.
D
G

But if you're throwing her out, son,
A

she can sleep in with me and my horse.

So the fireman's bride,
C
the fireman's bride

Hasn't got any fireside
C
But I believe she's got the cheat

Holding her skirt to gain the aloof
A
D
Men, you remember, are not fireproof
A
D
They see what goes on and yell,
To obtain the hose

on the fireman's ride
C
The man on the hide
D
G
is extremely undignified
C
A
E
They leave a place waiting for days
D
G
Oh, the fireman's ride
