Up Among The Heather

(início)

B            E              B            D
Up among the heather at the hill a' Benachee
A              D        A             B
Sitting with a wee girl rolling on my knee
  B         E        B              D
A bumblebee stung me well above the knee
B                           E
Up among the heather at the hill a' Benachee
Verses (same as chorus):
One day I went walking in the merry month of May
I met a little country girl and this they heard me say
Let me walk along with you and hold you by the hand
Maybe I can help you fill your wee tin can
Well we walked along for quite awhile and we came by the stream
Then she says come here me boy and show me what you mean
Come on and keep your bargain I'll help you if I can
The two of us will start to fill me wee tin can
We sat down together close by the stream
Then I says come here me girl I'll show what I mean
I hugged her and I kissed her like an Irish man
It didn't take me long to fill her wee tin can
So girls when you're courting take my advice
Never let an Irish man kiss you more than twice
All the time he's cuddling you he's thinking up a plan
To get a wee-be rattle at your ould tin can
