Up Among The Heather

B            E              B   
Up among the heather at the hill
         D
 a' Benachee
A              D        A       
Sitting with a wee girl rolling 
      B
on my knee
  B         E        B           
A bumblebee stung me well above 
   D
the knee
B                           E
Up among the heather at the hill a' 
Benachee

Verses (same as chorus):

Continues after the ad
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
