UNCLE NOBBY'S STEAMBOAT
Come for a trip on Uncle Nobby's steamboat
Where you can hide your worries on a high float
And we'll take a trip to Leprechauns and shamrocks
And hide your minds and troubles for a while
Chorus:
And we are goin' where the grass is growing green
To a mystic land that no one else has seen
Where oblivion takes the mind's reality
And reality fades into a memory
Captain Bluebeard gives a smile at the gangway side to meet you
The First mate by his side with a work card if he needs you
They takes you to your berth your cabin's cool and cosy
Full steams ahead we're ready for to go
Chorus
Brig on the dancing girls the show is now in motion
The choo-choo train is gone it's halfway through the mountains
The Fairies and the witch the banshees drinking brandy
Uncle Nobby at last is in command
Chorus
We're off to Tir na n'Og the goddess of love is Grainne
Cuchulainn can't get it in his coat he has no Fainne
The Leprechauns go by in a twinkling mystic vision
The shamrock lies a-mourning in the grave
Chorus

THE UNQUIET GRAVE
Cold blows the wind to my true love,
And gently drops the rain.
I've never had but one true love,
And in green-wood he lies slain.
I'll do as much for my true love,
As any young girl may,
I'll sit and mourn all on his grave,
For twelve months and a day.
And when twelve months and a day was passed,
The ghost did rise and speak,
"Why sittest thou all on my grave
And will no let me sleep?"
"Go fetch me water from the desert,
And blood from out the stone,
Go fetch me milk from a fair maid's breast
That young man never has known."
"My breast is cold as clay,
My breath is earthly strong,
And if you kiss my cold clay lips,
You days they won't be long."
"How oft on yonder grave, sweetheart,
Where we were want to walk,
The fairest flower that e'er I saw
Has withered to a stalk."
"When will we meet again, sweetheart,
When will we meet again?"
"When the autumn leaves that fall from the trees
Are green and spring up again

UP AMONG THE HEATHER
Up among the heather on the hill a' Benafee
It was there I had a bonny wee lass sitting on my knee
A bumblebee stung me well above the knee
We rested down together on the hill a' Benafee
Said I me bonny wee lassie are ya going to spend the day
Up amongst the heather on the hill a' Benafee
Where all the lads and lassies they're having a sobree
Up among the heather on the hill a' Benafee
Up among the heather on the hill a' Benafee
It was there I had a bonny wee lass sitting on my knee
A bumblebee stung me well above the knee
We rested down together on the hill a' Benafee
Said I me bonny wee lassie please take my advice
Don't ever let a soldier laddie love you more than twice
For all the time you do, he's a fixing how to plan
How to get a wee-be rattle at your old tin can
Up among the heather on the hill a' Benafee
It was there I had a bonny wee lass sitting on my knee
A bumblebee stung me well above the knee
We rested down together on the hill a' Benafee
