The Ragman's Ball - The Dubliners[00:00:00]

Come listen to me for a while[00:00:03]

Me good friends one and all[00:00:05]

And I'll sing to you a verse or two[00:00:07]

About a famous ball[00:00:10]

Now the ball was given by some friends[00:00:12]

Who lived down Ashe Street[00:00:15]

In a certain house in the Liberties[00:00:17]

Where the ragmen used to meet[00:00:18]

Well the names were called at seven o'clock[00:00:21]

And every man was on the spot[00:00:23]

And to show respect for the management[00:00:26]

Every ragman brought his mot[00:00:29]

I must admit that I brought mine[00:00:31]

At twenty five minutes to eight[00:00:34]

And the first to stand up was Kieran Grace[00:00:36]

For to tell me I was late[00:00:38]

Then up jumps Humpy Soodelum[00:00:41]

And he says: 'I think somehow'[00:00:43]

By the ways are all going on tonight[00:00:46]

Is a looking for a row[00:00:48]

Now listen here Grace if you want your face[00:00:50]

You'd better not shout or bawl[00:00:52]

There's a lot of hard chews gonna be here tonight[00:00:54]

To respect the ragman's ball[00:00:57]

Well for eating we had plenty now[00:01:00]

As much as we could hold[00:01:02]

We drank Brady's Loopline porter[00:01:04]

Until round the floor we rolled[00:01:07]

In the midst of all the confusion[00:01:09]

Someone shouted for a song[00:01:11]

When up jumps oul' John Lavin and sings[00:01:14]

'Keep rollin' your barrel along'[00:01:16]

Then says my one; 'You're quare one now'[00:01:19]

And Biddy you're hard to beat[00:01:21]

Oh when up jumps Liza Boland[00:01:23]

And she told her to hold her prate[00:01:26]

Then my one made a clout at her[00:01:28]

She missed her and hit the wall[00:01:30]

And the two of them went in the ambulance[00:01:32]

The night of the Ragman's ball[00:01:34]

Then we all sat down to some ham parings[00:01:37]

When everything was quiet[00:01:40]

And for broken noses I must say[00:01:42]

We had a lovely night[00:01:45]

Black eyes they were in great demand[00:01:47]

Not to mention split heads and all[00:01:49]

So if anyone wants to commit suicide[00:01:52]

Let them come to the Ragman's ball[00:01:54]
