    Lannigans Ball
    In the town of Athy there lived one Jerry Lannigan
    Who battered away 'till he hadn't a pound
    His father he died and made him a man again
    Left him a farm of ten acres of ground
    He gave a grand party to his friends and relations
    Who did not forget him when sent to the war
    If you but listen I'll make your eyes glisten
    At the rows and ructions of Lannigans Ball
    II
    Myself to be sure got free invitation
    For all the nice girls and boys that I ask
    And less than a minute both friends and relations
    Were dncing as merry as bees round a cask
    Miss Molly O'Farrell the nice little milliner
