[00:00.000]Lanigans Ball - Christy Moore
[00:09.864]In the town of Athy
[00:10.774]One Jeremy Lanigan battered away till he hadn't a shilling
[00:13.423]His father died made him a man again
[00:15.623]Left him a farm and ten acres of ground
[00:19.103]Myself to be sure
[00:20.143]Got invitations for the boys and girls I might ask
[00:22.973]Having been asked
[00:23.752]Friends and relations danced like bees around a sweet cask
[00:27.611]There was lashings of drink wine for the ladies
[00:29.660]Potatoes and cake bacon and tea
[00:31.639]Nolans and Dolans and all the O'Gradys
[00:33.338]Courting the girls and dancing away
[00:37.148]While songs went round as plenty as water
[00:39.178]The harps that are sounded through Tara's old hall
[00:41.126]Biddie Grey and the rat catcher's daughter
[00:42.855]Singing away at Lanigan's ball
[00:46.734]Six long months I spent in Dublin
[00:48.553]Six long months doing nothing at all
[00:50.542]Six long months I spent in Dublin
[00:52.372]Learning to dance for Lanigan's ball
[00:54.271]She stepped out I stepped in again
[00:56.149]I stepped out and she stepped in again
[00:58.188]She stepped out I stepped in again
[00:59.977]Learning to dance for Lanigan's ball
[01:03.465]They were doing all kinds of nonsensical
[01:05.105]Dances all around in a whirligig
[01:07.565]Julie and I soon banished their nonsense
[01:09.524]Out on the floor for a reel and a jig
[01:12.404]How the girls all got mad at me
[01:14.313]For they thought the ceilings would fall
[01:15.993]I spent six months in Brook's Academy
[01:18.103]Learning to dance for Lanigan's ball
[01:21.622]Well the boys were merry and the girls all hearty
[01:23.782]Dancing around in their couples and groups
[01:25.730]An accident happened; Terence McCarthy
[01:27.500]He put his boot through Miss Finnerty's hoops
[01:29.169]She fell down in a faint and cried 'Holy murder '
[01:31.537]Called her brothers and gathered them all
[01:32.847]Carmody swore he'd go no further
[01:35.006]Till he got revenge at Lanigan's ball
[01:38.905]Six long months I spent in Dublin
[01:40.804]Six long months doing nothing at all
[01:42.994]Six long months I spent in Dublin
[01:44.633]Learning to dance for Lanigan's ball
[01:46.602]She stepped out I stepped in again
[01:48.402]I stepped out and
[01:50.331]She stepped in again
[01:51.450]She stepped out
[01:52.099]Learning to dance for Lanigan's ball
