Lyrics The Wolfe Tones

The Wolfe Tones

Uncle Nobby's Steamboat

[D]Come for a trip on Uncle Nobby´s Steamboat

[A]where you can hide your worries on a high float

and[D] we´ll take a trip to leprachauns and shamrocks

and[A] hide our minds and troubles for a while

chorus:

And we´re going where the grass is growing green

to a mistyc 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 workcard if he needs you

they´ll take you to your berth

your cabin´s cool and cosy

full steam ahead we´re ready for to go

Bring 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 banshee´s drinking brandy

Uncle Nobby at last he´s in command

We´re off to Tir na Nóg, the goddes of love is grains

cuchulainn can´t get in in his coat he has no fainne

the leprachauns go by in a twinkling mystic vision

the shamrock lies a-mourning in the grave
