Chorus: 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
