Lannigan's Ball - Barnbrack[00:00:00]

In the town of Athy one Jeremy Lanigan[00:00:11]

Battered away till he hadn't a pound[00:00:13]

His father he died and made him a man again[00:00:16]

Left him a farm and ten acres of ground[00:00:18]

He gave a grand party to friends and relations[00:00:22]

Who didn't desert him when it comes to the will[00:00:24]

And if you'll but listen I'll make your eyes glisten[00:00:27]

Of rows and ructions at Lanigan's Ball[00:00:30]

Six whole months I spent in Dublin[00:00:32]

Six whole months doing nothing at all[00:00:34]

Six whole months I spent in Dublin[00:00:37]

Learning to dance for Lanigan's Ball[00:00:39]

I stepped out I stepped in again[00:00:42]

I stepped in again I stepped in again[00:00:44]

I stepped out and I stepped in again[00:00:47]

Learning to dance for Lanigan's Ball[00:00:49]

Myself to be sure got free invitation[00:00:53]

For all the nice girls and boys I might ask[00:00:55]

And just in a minute both friends and relations[00:00:58]

For dancing as merry as bees around a cask[00:01:00]

There were lashings of punch and wine for the ladies[00:01:04]

Potatoes and cakes there was bacon and tea[00:01:06]

There were the Nolans Dolans Ogradys[00:01:09]

Courting the girls and dancing away[00:01:11]

They were doing all kinds of nonsensical polkas[00:01:15]

Around the room in a whirligig[00:01:17]

But Julia and I soon banished their nonsense[00:01:20]

And tipped them a taste of a real Irish jig[00:01:22]

Oh how that girls got mad on me[00:01:26]

And danced till you'd think the ceilings would fall[00:01:28]

For I spent three weeks at Brook's academy[00:01:31]

Learning new steps for Lanigan's Ball[00:01:33]

Six whole months I spent in Dublin[00:01:36]

Six whole months doing nothing at all[00:01:38]

Six whole months I spent in Dublin[00:01:41]

Learning to dance for Lanigan's Ball[00:01:43]

I stepped out I stepped in again[00:01:46]

I stepped in again I stepped in again[00:01:48]

I stepped out and I stepped in again[00:01:51]

Learning to dance for Lanigan's Ball[00:01:53]

The boys were all merry the girls were all hearty[00:01:57]

Dancing away in couples and groups[00:01:59]

Till an accident happened young Terrance Mccarthy[00:02:02]

Put his right leg through miss finerty's hoops[00:02:04]

The creature she fainted and cried melia murder[00:02:08]

Cried for her brothers and gathered them all[00:02:10]

Carmody swore that he'd go no further[00:02:13]

Till he'd have satisfaction at Lanigan's Ball[00:02:15]

In the midst of the row miss kerrigan fainted[00:02:19]

Her cheeks at the same time as red as a rose[00:02:21]

Some of the boys decreed she was painted[00:02:24]

She took a smoke drop too much I suppose[00:02:26]

Her sweetheart ned morgan all powerful and able[00:02:30]

Saw his fair colleen stretched out by the wall[00:02:33]

He tore the left leg from under the table[00:02:35]

And smashed all the dishes at lanigan's Ball[00:02:37]

Six whole months I spent in Dublin[00:02:40]

Six whole months doing nothing at all[00:02:42]

Six whole months I spent in Dublin[00:02:45]

Learning to dance for Lanigan's Ball[00:02:47]

I stepped out I stepped in again[00:02:50]

I stepped in again I stepped in again[00:02:52]

I stepped out and I stepped in again[00:02:55]

Learning to dance for Lanigan's Ball[00:02:57]

Boys oh boys till then there was ructions[00:03:01]

Myself got a kick from big phelam mchugh[00:03:03]

But soon I replied to this kind introduction[00:03:06]

And kicked up a terrible hullaBalloo[00:03:08]

Old casey the piper was near being strangled[00:03:12]

They squeezed up his pipes bellows chanters and all[00:03:14]

The girls in their ribbons they all got entangled[00:03:17]

And that put an end to lanigan's Ball[00:03:19]

Six whole months I spent in Dublin[00:03:22]

Six whole months doing nothing at all[00:03:24]

Six whole months I spent in Dublin[00:03:27]

Learning to dance for Lanigan's Ball[00:03:29]

I stepped out I stepped in again[00:03:32]

I stepped in again I stepped in again[00:03:34]

I stepped out and I stepped in again[00:03:37]

Learning to dance for Lanigan's Ball[00:03:39]

I stepped out I stepped in again[00:03:41]

I stepped in again I stepped in again[00:03:44]

I stepped out and I stepped in again[00:03:46]

Learning to dance for Lanigan's Ball[00:03:49]
