Mick McGillan's Ball

arthur godfrey、Carmel Quinn - Mick McGillan's Ball

O they all went down to mick mcgilligan's ball

Where they had to tear the paper off the wall

To make room for all the people in the hall

All the girls and the boys made a devil of a noise

At mick mcgilligan's ball

Now michael mcgilligan one fine day

Got a lot of money from the usa

All through the death of his uncle joe

He got a million and a half or so

And says mcgilligan i'll give a fancy ball

Down at the auld ancestral hall

He invited the neighbors and everyone

For to join in the music and to have some fun

O so they all went down to mick mcgilligan's ball

Where they had to tear the paper off the wall

To make room for all the people in the hall

All the girls and the boys made a devil of a noise

At mick mcgilligan's ball

All of the neighbors came from near and far

Mulligan arrived in a motor car

Old mrs reilly bless her heart

Came with the family in the donkey cart

Pat o'rafferty arrived in an aeroplane

Ah you'll never see the likes again

There was a shout when two old skins

Came along at the gallop with the two miss quinns

O they all went down to mick mcgilligan's ball

Where they had to tear the paper off the wall

To make room for all the people in the hall

All the girls and the boys made a devil of a noise

At mick mcgilligan's ball
