《Lanigan’s Ball》歌词

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

[00:00:12] In the town of Athy one Jeremy Lanigan

[00:00:15] Battered away till he hadn't a pound

[00:00:17] His father he died and made him a man again

[00:00:20] Left him a farm and ten acres of ground

[00:00:23] He gave a grand party to friends and relations

[00:00:26] Who didn't desert him when it comes to the will

[00:00:28] And if you'll but listen I'll make your eyes glisten

[00:00:31] Of rows and ructions at Lanigan's Ball

[00:00:33] Six whole months I spent in Dublin

[00:00:36] Six whole months doing nothing at all

[00:00:38] Six whole months I spent in Dublin

[00:00:41] Learning to dance for Lanigan's Ball

[00:00:43] I stepped out I stepped in again

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

[00:00:48] I stepped out and I stepped in again

[00:00:51] Learning to dance for Lanigan's Ball

[00:00:54] Myself to be sure got free invitation

[00:00:57] For all the nice girls and boys I might ask

[00:00:59] And just in a minute both friends and relations

[00:01:02] For dancing as merry as bees around a cask

[00:01:05] There were lashings of punch and wine for the ladies

[00:01:08] Potatoes and cakes there was bacon and tea

[00:01:10] There were the Nolans Dolans Ogradys

[00:01:13] Courting the girls and dancing away

[00:01:16] They were doing all kinds of nonsensical polkas

[00:01:19] Around the room in a whirligig

[00:01:21] But Julia and I soon banished their nonsense

[00:01:24] And tipped them a taste of a real Irish jig

[00:01:28] Oh how that girls got mad on me

[00:01:30] And danced till you'd think the ceilings would fall

[00:01:32] For I spent three weeks at Brook's academy

[00:01:35] Learning new steps for Lanigan's Ball

[00:01:37] Six whole months I spent in Dublin

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

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

[00:01:45] Learning to dance for Lanigan's Ball

[00:01:47] I stepped out I stepped in again

[00:01:50] I stepped in again I stepped in again

[00:01:52] I stepped out and I stepped in again

[00:01:55] Learning to dance for Lanigan's Ball

[00:01:58] The boys were all merry the girls were all hearty

[00:02:01] Dancing away in couples and groups

[00:02:03] Till an accident happened young Terrance Mccarthy

[00:02:06] Put his right leg through miss finerty's hoops

[00:02:09] The creature she fainted and cried melia murder

[00:02:12] Cried for her brothers and gathered them all

[00:02:14] Carmody swore that he'd go no further

[00:02:16] Till he'd have satisfaction at Lanigan's Ball

[00:02:20] In the midst of the row miss kerrigan fainted

[00:02:23] Her cheeks at the same time as red as a rose

[00:02:25] Some of the boys decreed she was painted

[00:02:28] She took a smoke drop too much I suppose

[00:02:31] Her sweetheart ned morgan all powerful and able

[00:02:34] Saw his fair colleen stretched out by the wall

[00:02:36] He tore the left leg from under the table

[00:02:39] And smashed all the dishes at lanigan's Ball

[00:02:41] Six whole months I spent in Dublin

[00:02:44] Six whole months doing nothing at all

[00:02:46] Six whole months I spent in Dublin

[00:02:49] Learning to dance for Lanigan's Ball

[00:02:51] I stepped out I stepped in again

[00:02:54] I stepped in again I stepped in again

[00:02:56] I stepped out and I stepped in again

[00:02:59] Learning to dance for Lanigan's Ball

[00:03:02] Boys oh boys till then there was ructions

[00:03:05] Myself got a kick from big phelam mchugh

[00:03:07] But soon I replied to this kind introduction

[00:03:09] And kicked up a terrible hullaBalloo

[00:03:13] Old casey the piper was near being strangled

[00:03:16] They squeezed up his pipes bellows chanters and all

[00:03:18] The girls in their ribbons they all got entangled

[00:03:20] And that put an end to lanigan's Ball

[00:03:23] Six whole months I spent in Dublin

[00:03:26] Six whole months doing nothing at all

[00:03:28] Six whole months I spent in Dublin

[00:03:31] Learning to dance for Lanigan's Ball

[00:03:33] I stepped out I stepped in again

[00:03:35] I stepped in again I stepped in again

[00:03:38] I stepped out and I stepped in again

[00:03:40] Learning to dance for Lanigan's Ball

[00:03:43] I stepped out I stepped in again

[00:03:45] I stepped in again I stepped in again

[00:03:48] I stepped out and I stepped in again

[00:03:50] Learning to dance for Lanigan's Ball
