《Lanigans Ball》歌词

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

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

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

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

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

[00:00:19] Myself to be sure

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

[00:00:22] Having been asked

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:01:48] I stepped out and

[00:01:50] She stepped in again

[00:01:51] She stepped out

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