Uncle Nobby's Steamboat Lyrics Only
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 leprachauns and shamrocks 
and hide our minds and troubles for a while 

chorus: 
And we´re going where the grass is growing green 
to a misty 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  gráinne
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
