| Fiddler's Green - Laniganīs Ball Lyrics: | ||
Fiddler's Green - Laniganīs Ball In the town of Athy one Jeremy Lanigan Battered away till he hadnīt a pound And his father he died and made him a man again, Left him a farm and ten acres of ground He gave a grand party to friends and relations Who did not forget him when come to the wall If youīd only listen, Iīll make your eyes glisten At the rows and ructions of Laniganīs ball Myself to be sure got free invitations For all the nice girls and boys I might ask In less than a minute both friends and relations Were dancing as merry as bees round a cask Lashing of punch and wine for the ladies Potatoes, cakes, there was bacon and tea There were the Nolans, Dolans, OīGradyīs Courting the girls and dancing away Six long months I spent in Dublin Six long months doing nothing at all Six long months I spent in Dublin Learning to dance for Laniganīs ball They were doing all kinds of nonsensical polkas Round the room in a whirly gig But Julia and I soon banished their nonsense And tipped them a twist of a real Irish jig Oh how the girl she really got mad and me Danced that youīd think that the ceiling would fall For I spent three weeks at Brooks Academy Learning to dance for Laniganīs ball http://www.free-lyrics.org/Fiddlers-Green/100435-Laniganīs-Ball.html Six long months I spent in Dublin Six long months doing nothing at all Six long months I spent in Dublin Learning to dance for Laniganīs ball And I stepped out - and I stepped in again Learning to dance for Laniganīs ball The boys were as merry, the girls all hearty Dancing around in couples and groups Till an accident happened, young Terence McCarthy He put his right leg through Miss Finertyīs hoops The creature she fainted and cried "Meelia Murther" And called for her brothers and gathered them all Carmody swore that heīd go no further, Till he had satisfaction at Laniganīs ball Six long months I spent in Dublin Six long months doing nothing at all Six long months I spent in Dublin Learning to dance for Laniganīs ball Boys, oh boys, ītis there was ructions Myself got a kick from big Phelim McHugh And I soon replied to his kind introduction And kicked him a terrible hullabaloo Casey the piper was nearly being strangled They squeezed up his pipes, bellows, chanters and all And the girls in their ribbons they all got entangled And that put an end to Laniganīs ball Six long months I spent in Dublin Six long months doing nothing at all Six long months I spent in Dublin Learning to dance for Laniganīs ball And I stepped out - and I stepped in again Learning to dance for Laniganīs ball View more Fiddler's Green Song Lyrics: Fiddler's Green - Shut Up And Dance Lyrics Fiddler's Green - The Rose Of Ballymore Lyrics Fiddler's Green - The Creel Lyrics Fiddler's Green - Mary Mack Lyrics Fiddler's Green - Queen Of Argyll Lyrics Fiddler's Green - Girls Along The Road Lyrics Fiddler's Green - Haughs Of Cromdale Lyrics Fiddler's Green - Stay By My Side Lyrics Fiddler's Green - Hip Hurray Lyrics Fiddler's Green - Tangerine Lyrics |
