Hi, Bertalan,


you can use the following tweaks:
    c ^"Barbara Ann in Barrabas' Inn"
    % Allow grob to go into the staff
    -\tweak #'outside-staff-priority #'()
    % Adjust position w.r.t. the note head's lower left corner
    -\tweak #'X-offset #0.5
    -\tweak #'Y-offset #-2
    -"Barbara Ann"

You might have to consider the warning section from 
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.12/Documentation/user/lilypond/Writing-text#Text-scripts 
as well as \textLengthOn and -Off there for longer scripts; see the 
attached snippet.


Cheers,
Alexander
