  • Waiting for Herb (buy)
  • Sit down on that stool hear the cant of a fool
    And a strange tale I'll impart to ye
    Of a time that I lived at the buff of a hill
    'Neath the burial chambers you see
    One Saturday night I got up on my bike
    To go to a dance in the town
    I set off at seven to be there at eleven
    No thought of the rain coming down
    As I pushed up the hill the rain started to spill
    So for shelter I had to resort
    Helter skelter I went as downhill I sped
    To the trees at the old fairy fort
    I pulled up my bike be a tree in the gripe
    To find shelter out of the storm
    The rain it came down and like stones beat the ground
    But it was grand to be dry in that storm
    I was dreaming away about better days
    When a voice it says dirty ould night
    I fell over me bike I got such a fright
    When the ghostly voice bid me the night
    I jumped up with a start gave the storm not a thought
    As the hail beat a rhythm on me
    And I stared at the tree that had spoken to me
    Not a body was there I could see
    The voice I had heard not another word said
    As the hair on the head stood on me
    And I said an ";Our Father"; as I peddled much faster
    Away from that ghost haunted tree
    For weeks and weeks after with nerves a disaster
    Nowhere near that road would I go
    And from dusk through the night I would shake with the fright
    Of the tree that had haunted me so
    Now whenever I go to a dance in the town
    I make sure not to stop on the way
    To be there for eleven I still leave at seven
    But I go by a different way
