lirik lagu lannigan’s ball – the merry wives of windsor
in the town of athy one jeremy lannigan
battered away till he hadn’t a pound
his father had died and made him a man again
left him a farm and ten acres of ground
he gave a grand ball to his friends and relations
who hadn’t forgot him when sent to the wall
if you’ll only listen i’ll make your eyes glisten
at the row and the ruction of lannigan’s 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 ’round merry as bees ’round a cask
this julie mcmannis, that nice little milliner
tipped me a wink for to give her a call
and soon we arrived with timothy gallaghan
just in time for lannigan’s ball
there were lashings of punch and wine for the ladies
potatoes and cakes; there was bacon and tea
there were the nolans, dolans, the o’gradys were also there
courting the girls and dancing away
the songs they went ’round as plenty as water
from the harp that once sounded in tara’s old hall
to sweet nelly gray and the rat catcher’s daughter
all singing together at lannigan’s ball
the boys were all merry, the girls were all hearty
they were dancing away in couples and groups
till an accident happened, young terrance mccarthy
he put his right leg through miss flaherty’s hoops
this creature created and roared: holy murder
she called for her friends and she gathered them all
ned carmody swore that he’d go no further
till he had satisfaction at lannigan’s ball
in the midst of the row miss kerrigan fainted
her cheeks at the same time as red as a rose
some of the ladies declared she was painted
she took a small drop too much, i suppose
her sweetheart, ned morgan, so powerful able
when he saw his fair colleen stretched out by the wall
tore the left leg from under the table
and smashed all the china at lannigan’s ball
boys, oh boys, ’twas then there were a ruction
myself got a l!ck from big phelim mchugh
but soon i replied to his kind introduction
and kicked up a terrible hullabaloo
old casey, the piper, was near being strangled
they squeezed up his pipes, bellows, chanters and all
the girls, in their ribbons, they all were entangled
and that put an end to lannigan’s ball
