Lanigan's Ball - Barnbrack[00:00:00]
In the town of Athy one Jeremy Lanigan[00:00:12]
Battered away till he hadn't a pound[00:00:15]
His father he died and made him a man again[00:00:17]
Left him a farm and ten acres of ground[00:00:20]
He gave a grand party to friends and relations[00:00:23]
Who didn't desert him when it comes to the will[00:00:26]
And if you'll but listen I'll make your eyes glisten[00:00:28]
Of rows and ructions at Lanigan's Ball[00:00:31]
Six whole months I spent in Dublin[00:00:33]
Six whole months doing nothing at all[00:00:36]
Six whole months I spent in Dublin[00:00:38]
Learning to dance for Lanigan's Ball[00:00:41]
I stepped out I stepped in again[00:00:43]
I stepped in again I stepped in again[00:00:46]
I stepped out and I stepped in again[00:00:48]
Learning to dance for Lanigan's Ball[00:00:51]
Myself to be sure got free invitation[00:00:54]
For all the nice girls and boys I might ask[00:00:57]
And just in a minute both friends and relations[00:00:59]
For dancing as merry as bees around a cask[00:01:02]
There were lashings of punch and wine for the ladies[00:01:05]
Potatoes and cakes there was bacon and tea[00:01:08]
There were the Nolans Dolans Ogradys[00:01:10]
Courting the girls and dancing away[00:01:13]
They were doing all kinds of nonsensical polkas[00:01:16]
Around the room in a whirligig[00:01:19]
But Julia and I soon banished their nonsense[00:01:21]
And tipped them a taste of a real Irish jig[00:01:24]
Oh how that girls got mad on me[00:01:28]
And danced till you'd think the ceilings would fall[00:01:30]
For I spent three weeks at Brook's academy[00:01:32]
Learning new steps for Lanigan's Ball[00:01:35]
Six whole months I spent in Dublin[00:01:37]
Six whole months doing nothing at all[00:01:40]
Six whole months I spent in Dublin[00:01:42]
Learning to dance for Lanigan's Ball[00:01:45]
I stepped out I stepped in again[00:01:47]
I stepped in again I stepped in again[00:01:50]
I stepped out and I stepped in again[00:01:52]
Learning to dance for Lanigan's Ball[00:01:55]
The boys were all merry the girls were all hearty[00:01:58]
Dancing away in couples and groups[00:02:01]
Till an accident happened young Terrance Mccarthy[00:02:03]
Put his right leg through miss finerty's hoops[00:02:06]
The creature she fainted and cried melia murder[00:02:09]
Cried for her brothers and gathered them all[00:02:12]
Carmody swore that he'd go no further[00:02:14]
Till he'd have satisfaction at Lanigan's Ball[00:02:16]
In the midst of the row miss kerrigan fainted[00:02:20]
Her cheeks at the same time as red as a rose[00:02:23]
Some of the boys decreed she was painted[00:02:25]
She took a smoke drop too much I suppose[00:02:28]
Her sweetheart ned morgan all powerful and able[00:02:31]
Saw his fair colleen stretched out by the wall[00:02:34]
He tore the left leg from under the table[00:02:36]
And smashed all the dishes at lanigan's Ball[00:02:39]
Six whole months I spent in Dublin[00:02:41]
Six whole months doing nothing at all[00:02:44]
Six whole months I spent in Dublin[00:02:46]
Learning to dance for Lanigan's Ball[00:02:49]
I stepped out I stepped in again[00:02:51]
I stepped in again I stepped in again[00:02:54]
I stepped out and I stepped in again[00:02:56]
Learning to dance for Lanigan's Ball[00:02:59]
Boys oh boys till then there was ructions[00:03:02]
Myself got a kick from big phelam mchugh[00:03:05]
But soon I replied to this kind introduction[00:03:07]
And kicked up a terrible hullaBalloo[00:03:09]
Old casey the piper was near being strangled[00:03:13]
They squeezed up his pipes bellows chanters and all[00:03:16]
The girls in their ribbons they all got entangled[00:03:18]
And that put an end to lanigan's Ball[00:03:20]
Six whole months I spent in Dublin[00:03:23]
Six whole months doing nothing at all[00:03:26]
Six whole months I spent in Dublin[00:03:28]
Learning to dance for Lanigan's Ball[00:03:31]
I stepped out I stepped in again[00:03:33]
I stepped in again I stepped in again[00:03:35]
I stepped out and I stepped in again[00:03:38]
Learning to dance for Lanigan's Ball[00:03:40]
I stepped out I stepped in again[00:03:43]
I stepped in again I stepped in again[00:03:45]
I stepped out and I stepped in again[00:03:48]
Learning to dance for Lanigan's Ball[00:03:50]
