Irish traditional song lyrics — collected by Beer Belly Band.
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
