Uncle Nobby's Steamboat Songtext
von Wolfe Tones

Come for a trip on Uncle Nobby′s Steamboat
Where you can hide your worries on a high float
Andwe'll take a trip to leprachauns and shamrocks
Andhide our minds and troubles for a while

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
