lirik lagu frank harte - the rag man's ball
[verse 1]
come pay attention for a while
me good friends one and all
and i’ll sing to you a verse or two
about a famous ball
now this ball was given by some friends
who lived down in ashe street
in a certain house in the liberties
where the ragmen used to meet
[verse 2]
well the names were called at seven o’clock
and every man was on the spot
and to show respect for the management
every ragman brought his mot
now, i must admit that i brought mine
at twenty five minutes to eight
and the first to stand up was kieran grace
for to tell me that i was late
[verse 3]
then up jumps humpy soodelum
and he says, “i think somehow
by the way yous are going on tonight
yous a looking for a row
now look it here, grace if you want your face
you’d better not shout or bawl
there’s a lot of hard chaws to be here tonight
to respect the rag man’s ball”
[verse 4]
then we all sat down to some fish and chips
and every man was there
oh and as the place of honour billy boland took the chair
well he swiped the chair and sold it to an old one in carmen hall
and danced on the face of kieran grace the night of the rag man’s ball
[verse 5]
“ah,” says my one, “you’re quare one now
and billy you’re hard to beat”
oh when up jumps liza boland
and she told her to hold her prate
ah but my one made a clout at her
and she missed and struck the wall
and the two of them went in the ambulance
the night of the rag man’s ball
[verse 6]
now to make the thing a swell affair
we brought friends quite a few
ah we brought up blind gort whelan and big dan kenny too
and the gallant jack tar smoked his cigar
and he slipped coming through the hall
and he lost a new bag and all his swag
the night of the rag man’s ball
[verse 7]
now to keep the house alive, me boys
we brought some music too
ah we brought up tommy reynolds
and his old tin whistle too
well he played that night with all his might
until coming on to dawn
but we couldn’t find any to dance with dan kenny
the night of the rag man’s ball
[verse 8]
well, for eating we had plenty there
as much as we could hold
we drank brady’s loopline porter
until around the floor we rolled
in the midst of all the confusion
someone shouted for a song
when up jumps oul’ john lavin and sings:
“keep rollin’ your barrel along”
[verse 9]
then we all sat down to some ham pairings
when everything was quiet
and for broken noses i must say
we had a lovely night
ah black eyes, they were in great demand
not to mention split heads and all
so if anyone wants to commit suicide
let them come to the rag man’s ball
