Lukey - Lyrics - Fiddler's Green

Fiddler's Green is a legendary supposed afterlife, where there is perpetual mirth, a fiddle that never stops playing, and dancers who never tire. Its origins are obscure, although some point to the Greek myth of the Elysian Fields as a potential inspiration.

Well Lukey's Boat is painted green Ha, me boys Lukey's Boat is painted green It's the prettiest boat that you've ever seen Lukey's Boat got a fine four cutty Ha, me boys Lukey's Boat got a fine four cutty And every seam is chinked with putty Aha me boys a didleiday Well I says Lukey the blinds are down Ha, me boys I says Lukey the blinds are down Me wife is dead and she's underground Well I says Lukey I don't care Ha, me boys I says Lukey I don't care I'll get me another in the spring of the year Aha me boys a didleiday Aha me boys a didleiday Aha me boys a didleiday Now Lukey's rolling out his grub Ha, me boys Lukey's rolling out his grub One split pea, and a ten pound tub Now Lukey's boat got high topped sails Ha, me boys Lukey's boat got high topped sails The sheets were planked with copper nails Aha me boys a didleiday Aha me boys a didleiday Aha me boys a didleiday
