Sister Josephine Lyrics & Tabs by The Clancy Brothers & Robbie O’Connell
Sister Josephine
guitar chords lyrics
Oh, Sister Josephine
What do all these policemen mean
Coming to the convent in their grim limousine
After Sister Josephine.
While you, Sister Josephine
Sit with your boots up on the altar screen
And smoke one last cigar
What a funny nun you are
The policemen say that Josephine's
is a terrorist in disguise
Been on the run for fifteen months and more
The sisters disbelieve it:
No, that can't be Josephine.
Just think about her tenderness
towards the younger nuns
No, that can't be Josephine.
Just think about her tenderness
towards the younger nuns
Oh, Sister Josephine
They're searching the chapel
where you've been seen
The nooks and the crannies
of the nun's canteen
After Sister Josephine
While you, Sister Josephine
Take a farewell sip of Benedictine
Before your au revoir
What a funny nun you are
No longer will her snores
Be heard at chapel during prayers
Or lustful moanings fill the stilly night
No more empty bottles of altar wine
come clunking from her cell
No longer will the cloister toilet seat
stand upright
Oh, Sister Josephine
Founder of the convent poker team
They're searching through your bundles
of Playboy magazines
After Sister Josephine
While you, Sister Josephine
Give a farewell sniff of benzedrine
To the convent budgerigar
What a funny nun you are
Admittedly her hands were strong and hairy
And embellished with a curious tattoo
Admittedly her voice was on the deep side
And she seemed to shave more often
than the other sisters do.
Oh Sister Josephine
Streaking through the suburbs when last seen,
Dressed only in your bvds and rosary
What a funny nun you seem ...to... me.
