[VERSE 1]
[N.C.]it was December 1863, when Robert Noble left the Island for home
[N.C.]He borrowed a skiff, left his love inspite of the bitter cold
[N.C.]found himself shored on Plum Island with nothing to sustain a man
[N.C.]he fought the ice through Death's door, back to Detroit harbor again
[G]Over and back for romance, the islanders all but said
[G]His ill fated trip and frostbite cost him fingers and legs [D]
[G]Not sure we can understand who th[C]at man was today[G]
[G]He lived it out , many dreams denied but his [D]legacy lives today[G]
[VERSE 2]
[G]in a most functional vessel th[C]at bears Robert's na[G]me today
[G]carries cars and people to and fro in the most usual way [D]
[G]As they slip by plum island the w[C]ater reaches over the rai[G]l
[G]we think of Robert Noble alone f[D]acing a Winter gale[G]
[G]over and back on the robert Nobel, o[C]ver and back agai[G]n
[G]over and back for romance be[D]tween her and him
[G]over and back for commerce or a lo[C]vely Holiday[G]
[G]aint never been a trip over and back like Robert Nob[D]le made that day [G]
[CHORUS]
[G]Over and back on the Robert Noble, the is[C]land waits for yo[G]u
[G]family, friends and pilgrims they make every tr[D]ip brand new
[G]don't forget some minnow and a [C]fishing pole or tw[G]o
[G]then its up the road for bitters and beer and a[D] little bit of law[G]yer stew
[G]If you're not from the Island you never[C] will be my friends[G]
[G]thats their life and it's a lovely one, they[D]'d gladly live again
[G]but you don't have to live their plight or ev[C]en touch their pain[G]
[G]but you can ride the robert Nobel ov[D]er and back agai[G]n
[INSTRUMENTAL]
[VERSE 3]
[G]Lake Michigan breathes winter swells a traver[C]s La porte des mort[G]s
[G]the robert noble heads over and back right on through De[D]ath's Door
[G]over and back on the robert noble [C]over and back agai[G]n
[G]fishermen, tourists and pedlers pul[D]ling a Northwest win[G]d
[G]Theres no place darker in the world than o[C]n an Island nigh[G]t
[G]Your blindness belies the brilliant stars that seem to shed n[D]o light
[G]Your Imagination is kindled as it's just you an[C]d god again[G]
[G]Its always their and easy to find....its [D]over and back agai[G]n
[CHORUS]
[G]Over and back on the robert Noble, the[C] island waits for yo[G]u
[G]family, friends and pilgrims they make each[D] trip brand new
[G]don't forget to bring some minnow and a f[C]ishing pole or tw[G]o
[G]then its up the road for bitters and beer and [D]a little bit of law[G]yer stew
[G]Yes its over and back on the Robert Noble, [D]over and back again [G]
Over and back on the Robert Noble, how lovely it can be
we can take our cars with us and we all get to see
the gap they call Death's door in a most intimate way
Over and back, it's the same but somehow not like it was back on that day
[N.C.]it was December 1863, when Robert Noble left the Island for home
[N.C.]He borrowed a skiff, left his love inspite of the bitter cold
[N.C.]found himself shored on Plum Island with nothing to sustain a man
