Uncle Nobby’s Steamboat (2011 version)
by The Wolfe Toneson Child of DestinyCome 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 our minds and troubles for a while
[Chorus]
And we're 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 Bluebird gives a smile at the gangway side to greet you
The first mate by his side, with a work card if he needs you
They take you to your berth, your cabin's cool and cosy
Full stеam ahead, we're rеady for to go
[Chorus]
And we're 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
Now we're off to Tir na nÓg, the goddess of love is Gráinne
Cuchalainn can't get in, in his coat he has no Fáinne
The fairies and the witch, the banshee's drinking brandy
Uncle Nobby: at last, he's in command
[Chorus]
And we're 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
[Chorus]
And we're 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
