Phil the Fluter's Ball - Peter Dawson[00:00:00]

Written by：Traditional[00:00:01]

Have you heard of Phil the fluter[00:00:10]

From the town of Ballymuck[00:00:11]

The times was going hard for him[00:00:13]

In fact the man was broke[00:00:14]

So he sent an invitation[00:00:16]

To his neighbours one and all[00:00:17]

As how he'd like their company[00:00:18]

That evening at a ball[00:00:20]

And when writing out[00:00:21]

He was careful to suggest to them[00:00:22]

That if they found a hat of his[00:00:24]

Convenient to the door[00:00:25]

The more they put in[00:00:27]

Whenever he requested them[00:00:28]

The better would the music be[00:00:30]

For battering the floor[00:00:31]

With a toot on the flute[00:00:32]

And a twiddle on the fiddle-oh[00:00:33]

Hopping in the middle[00:00:35]

Like a herrin' on the griddle-oh[00:00:36]

Up down hands around[00:00:38]

And crossing to the wall[00:00:39]

Sure hadn't we the gaiety[00:00:41]

At Phil the Fluter's ball[00:00:42]

There was Mister Denis Doherty[00:00:49]

Who kept a running dog[00:00:50]

There was little crooked Paddy[00:00:51]

From the Tiraloughett bog[00:00:53]

There was boys from every barony[00:00:54]

And girls from every art[00:00:56]

And the beautiful Miss Bradys'[00:00:57]

In their private a** and cart[00:00:58]

Along with them[00:01:00]

Came bouncing Mrs Cafferty[00:01:01]

Little Mickey Mulligan[00:01:03]

Was also to the fore[00:01:04]

Rose Suzanne and Margaret O'Rafferty[00:01:05]

The flower of Ard Na Gullion[00:01:08]

And the pride of Petravore[00:01:10]

With a toot on the flute[00:01:11]

And a twiddle on the fiddle-oh[00:01:12]

Hopping in the middle[00:01:14]

Like a herrin' on the griddle-oh[00:01:15]

Up down hands around[00:01:17]

And crossing to the wall[00:01:18]

Sure hadn't we the gaiety[00:01:19]

At Phil the Fluter's ball[00:01:21]

First little Mickey Mulligan[00:01:27]

Got up to show them how[00:01:29]

And then the widow Cafferty[00:01:30]

Steps out and takes her bow[00:01:32]

I'll dance you off your legs says she[00:01:33]

As sure as you were born[00:01:34]

If you'll only make the piper play[00:01:36]

The Hare was in the Corn[00:01:37]

So Phil plays up[00:01:39]

To the best of his ability[00:01:40]

The ladies and the gentlemen[00:01:42]

Begin to do their share[00:01:43]

Faith then Mick[00:01:44]

It's you that has agility[00:01:46]

Begob an' Mrs Cafferty[00:01:47]

You're leppin' like a hare[00:01:48]

With a toot on the flute[00:01:50]

And a twiddle on the fiddle-oh[00:01:51]

Hopping in the middle[00:01:53]

Like a herrin' on the griddle-oh[00:01:54]

Up down hands around[00:01:56]

And crossing to the wall[00:01:57]

Sure hadn't we the gaiety[00:01:58]

At Phil the Fluter's ball[00:02:00]

Then Phil the fluter tipped a wink[00:02:06]

To little crooked Pat[00:02:08]

I think it's nearly time says he[00:02:09]

For passing round the hat[00:02:11]

So Paddy passed the caipin' round[00:02:12]

And looking very cute[00:02:14]

Said you have to pay the piper[00:02:15]

When he tootles on the flute[00:02:16]

Then all joined in[00:02:18]

With the greatest joviality[00:02:19]

Coverin' the buckle[00:02:21]

And the shuffle and the cut[00:02:22]

Jigs were danced[00:02:23]

Of the very finest quality[00:02:24]

But the widow bate the company[00:02:26]

At handlin' the foot[00:02:27]

With a toot on the flute[00:02:29]

And a twiddle on the fiddle-oh[00:02:30]

Hopping in the middle[00:02:32]

Like a herrin' on the griddle-oh[00:02:33]

Up down hands around[00:02:34]

And crossing to the wall[00:02:36]

Sure hadn't we the gaiety[00:02:37]

At Phil the Fluter's ball[00:02:39]
