Grandson of New Limerick (Son of New Limerick contd.)

A traveller's life is for some
They merrily go and they come
On the open road

A traveller's life is for some
They merrily go and they come
On the open road
The world their abode

A travellers life is for some
They merry go and they come
On the open road
The world their abode
I certainly don’t call them dumb.

A gypsy and poet in one

A gypsy and poet in one
He finds life a barrel of fun

A traveller's life is for some
They merrily go and they come
You set out for the day

A gypsy and poet in one
He finds life a barrel of fun
Mind and body freed

A gypsy and poet in one
He finds life a barrel of fun
Mind and body freed
To indulge every need

A gypsy and poet in one
He finds life a barrel of fun
Mind and body freed
To indulge every need
And each day he follows the sun.

Here comes the Lord of the manor

Here comes the Lord of the manor
Holding up a giant banner

Here comes the Lord of the manor
Holding up a giant banner
Keep off my grass!

Here comes the Lord of the manor
Holding up a giant banner
Keep off my grass!
Nobody can pass!

Here comes the Lord of the manor
Holding up a giant banner
Keep off my grass!
Nobody can pass!
If they do, then they’re for the slammer

I’ve just seen a beautiful bird

I’ve just seen a beautiful bird
Sing the sweetest song ever heard

I’ve just seen a beautiful bird
Sing the sweetest song ever heard
With feathers so bright

I’ve just seen a beautiful bird
Sing the sweetest song ever heard
With feathers so bright
An uplifting sight

I’ve just seen a beautiful bird
Sing the sweetest song ever heard
With feathers so bright
An uplifting sight
To describe it, there isn't a word.

Do you watch the news on TV?

Do you watch the news on TV?
I do, to a smallish degree

Do you watch the news on TV?
I do, to a smallish degree

Do you watch the news on TV?
I do, to a smallish degree
And that's quite enough

Do you watch the news on TV?
I do, to a smallish degree
And that’s quite enough
Of depressing stuff

Do you watch the news on TV?
I do, to a smallish degree
And that's quite enough
Of depressing stuff
It's back to the garden for me

The bushes and trees grow so fast

The bushes and trees grow so fast
And bring us real joy that will last

The bushes and trees grow so fast
And bring us real joy that will last
All through the year

The bushes and trees grow so fast
And bring us real joy that will last
All through the year
You need have no fear

The bushes and trees grow so fast
And bring us real joy that will last
All through the year
You need have no fear
That enjoyment of gardens has passed.

This summer so far is unbearable
