At Finnigan's Ball - Ruby Murray

作曲：Lee/Weston

Michael Finnigan held a ball

Down in Ballymahon in the old town hall

We drove in cabs to the festive scene

I hired a couple but I ran between

Oh what a gathering we had there

Oh what a gathering I declare

Patsy Sullivan he looked a wreck

For he had a gathering upon his neck

Finnigan's Ball What a night of jollity

Finnigan's Ball dancing all around

We were strict tea totelers one an all

Till the cork came out at Finnigan's Ball

Old Mrs Mullin's three score and ten

Hadn't had a kiss since the Lord knows when

She bought a mask and went to the dance

To cover up her face it was her only chance

Sat out a dance with Mike Muldoon

Out upon the stairs she began to spoon

He spotted her face when he gave her a kiss

And said heaven help a sailor on a night like this

Finnigan's Ball there was Michael Cassidy

Finnigan's Ball playing in the band

But he was so thin and lean and small

That he fell through his trumpet at Finnigan's Ball

We had supper with lots to eat

Say we had the finest whisky neat

There was trouble in store oh dear

Barney Flynn drank Finnigan's beer

Mrs Bull had some appetite

She ate twenty seven buns that night

The buns are fine says Mrs Bull

But I couldn't eat another

For my program's full

Finnigan's Ball little Mrs Rafferty

Finnigan's Ball promised me a dance

But she slipped on the stairs and had a fall

And she broke her promise at Finnegan's Ball
