《Lannigan’s Ball》歌词

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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