《The Ragman’s Ball》歌词

[00:00:01] Come listen to me for a while

[00:00:03] Me good friends one and all

[00:00:06] And I'll sing to you a verse or two

[00:00:09] About a famous ball

[00:00:12] Now the ball was given by some friends

[00:00:15] Who lived down ashe street

[00:00:17] In a certain house in the Liberties

[00:00:19] Where the ragmen used to meet

[00:00:22] Well the names were called at seven o'clock

[00:00:24] And every man was on the spot

[00:00:27] And to show respect for the management

[00:00:30] Every ragman brought his mot

[00:00:32] I must admit that I brought mine

[00:00:35] At twenty five minutes to eight

[00:00:37] And the first to stand up was kieran grace

[00:00:40] For to tell me I was late

[00:00:42] Then up jumps humpy soodelum

[00:00:45] And he says I think somehow

[00:00:47] By the ways are all going on tonight

[00:00:49] Is a looking for a row

[00:00:52] Now listen here grace if you want your face

[00:00:55] You'd better not shout or bawl

[00:00:57] There's a lot of hard chews gonna be here tonight

[00:00:59] To respect the ragman's ball

[00:01:02] Then says my one you're quare one now

[00:01:05] And Biddy you're hard to beat

[00:01:06] Oh when up jumps liza boland

[00:01:08] And she told her to hold her prate

[00:01:11] Then my one made a clout at her

[00:01:13] She missed her and hit the wall

[00:01:16] And the two of them went in the ambulance

[00:01:18] The night of the ragman's ball

[00:01:20] Well for eating we had plenty now

[00:01:22] As much as we could hold

[00:01:25] We drank brady's Loopline porter

[00:01:27] Until round the floor we rolled

[00:01:30] In the midst of all the confusion

[00:01:32] Someone shouted for a song

[00:01:34] When up jumps oul' john lavin and sings

[00:01:37] Keep rolling your barrel along

[00:01:40] Then we all sat down to some ham parings

[00:01:42] When everything was quiet

[00:01:45] And for broken noses I must say

[00:01:47] We had a lovely night

[00:01:50] Black eyes they were in great demand

[00:01:52] Not to mention split heads and all

[00:01:55] So if anyone wants to commit suicide

[00:01:57] Let them come to the ragman's ball
