Lanigans Ball - Christy Moore[00:00:00]

In the town of Athy [00:00:09]

One Jeremy Lanigan battered away till he hadn't a shilling [00:00:10]

His father died made him a man again [00:00:13]

Left him a farm and ten acres of ground [00:00:15]

Myself to be sure [00:00:19]

Got invitations for the boys and girls I might ask [00:00:20]

Having been asked [00:00:22]

Friends and relations danced like bees around a sweet cask [00:00:23]

There was lashings of drink wine for the ladies [00:00:27]

Potatoes and cake bacon and tea [00:00:29]

Nolans and Dolans and all the O'Gradys [00:00:31]

Courting the girls and dancing away [00:00:33]

While songs went round as plenty as water [00:00:37]

The harps that are sounded through Tara's old hall [00:00:39]

Biddie Grey and the rat catcher's daughter[00:00:41]

Singing away at Lanigan's ball [00:00:42]

Six long months I spent in Dublin [00:00:46]

Six long months doing nothing at all [00:00:48]

Six long months I spent in Dublin [00:00:50]

Learning to dance for Lanigan's ball [00:00:52]

She stepped out I stepped in again [00:00:54]

I stepped out and she stepped in again [00:00:56]

She stepped out I stepped in again [00:00:58]

Learning to dance for Lanigan's ball [00:00:59]

They were doing all kinds of nonsensical[00:01:03]

Dances all around in a whirligig [00:01:05]

Julie and I soon banished their nonsense [00:01:07]

Out on the floor for a reel and a jig [00:01:09]

How the girls all got mad at me[00:01:12]

For they thought the ceilings would fall [00:01:14]

I spent six months in Brook's Academy[00:01:15]

Learning to dance for Lanigan's ball [00:01:18]

Well the boys were merry and the girls all hearty[00:01:21]

Dancing around in their couples and groups [00:01:23]

An accident happened; Terence McCarthy [00:01:25]

He put his boot through Miss Finnerty's hoops [00:01:27]

She fell down in a faint and cried 'Holy murder '[00:01:29]

Called her brothers and gathered them all [00:01:31]

Carmody swore he'd go no further[00:01:32]

Till he got revenge at Lanigan's ball [00:01:35]

Six long months I spent in Dublin [00:01:38]

Six long months doing nothing at all [00:01:40]

Six long months I spent in Dublin [00:01:42]

Learning to dance for Lanigan's ball [00:01:44]

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

I stepped out and[00:01:48]

She stepped in again [00:01:50]

She stepped out[00:01:51]

Learning to dance for Lanigan's ball[00:01:52]
