[02:29.00]Phil the Fluter's Ball - Ruby Murray
[02:29.00]Have you heard of phil the fluther
[02:29.00]Of the town of ball muck
[02:29.00]The times were going hard with him
[02:29.00]In fact the man was broke
[02:29.00]He just sent out a notice to his
[02:29.00]Neighbors one an all
[02:29.00]As to how he'd like their company
[02:29.00]That evening at a ball
[02:29.00]And when writing out he was careful
[02:29.00]To suggest to them
[02:29.00]If they found a hat of his
[02:29.00]Convenient to the dure
[02:29.00]The more they put in whenever
[02:29.00]He requested them
[02:29.00]The better would the music be
[02:29.00]For battering the flute
[02:29.00]With the toot of the flute
[02:29.00]And the twiddle of the fiddle oh
[02:29.00]Hopping in the middle like a
[02:29.00]Herring on the griddle oh
[02:29.00]Up down hands around
[02:29.00]Crossing to the wall
[02:29.00]Oh hadn't we the gaiety
[02:29.00]At phil the fluther's ball
[02:29.00]There was mister denis doherty
[02:29.00]Who kept the running dog
[02:29.00]There was little crooked
[02:29.00]Paddy from the tiraloughett bog
[02:29.00]There was boys from every
[02:29.00]Barony and girls from every art
[02:29.00]The beautiful miss brady's
[02:29.00]In a private a** and cart
[02:29.00]Along with them came bouncing mrs cafferty
[02:29.00]Little micky mulligan was
[02:29.00]Also to the fore
[02:29.00]Rose suzanne and margaret o'rafferty
[02:29.00]The flower of ardmagullion
[02:29.00]And the pride of pethravore
[02:29.00]With the toot of the flute
[02:29.00]The twiddle of the fiddle oh
[02:29.00]Hopping in the middle like a
[02:29.00]Herring on the griddle oh
[02:29.00]Up down hands around
[02:29.00]Crossing to the wall
[02:29.00]Oh hadn't we the gaiety at
[02:29.00]Phil the fluther's ball
[02:29.00]Then phil the fluther tipped
[02:29.00]A wink to little crooked pat
[02:29.00]I think it's nearly time sez
[02:29.00]He for passing round the hat
[02:29.00]So paddy passed the caubeen
[02:29.00]Round and looking mighty cute
[02:29.00]Since you've got to pay the
[02:29.00]Piper when he toothers on the flute
[02:29.00]All joined in wild the greatest joviality
[02:29.00]Covering the buckle and the shuffle and the cut
[02:29.00]Jigs were danced of the very finest quality
[02:29.00]The wider bet the company at handling the fut
[02:29.00]With the toot of the flute
[02:29.00]The twiddle of the fiddle oh
[02:29.00]Hopping in the middle like
[02:29.00]A herring on the griddle oh
[02:29.00]Up down hands around
[02:29.00]Crossing to the wall
[02:29.00]Oh hadn't we the gaiety at phil the fluther's ball
