    Amhrán
    Lannigan's Ball
    In the town of Athy, one Jeremy Lannigan,
    Battered away till he hadn't a pound”
    His father he 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 did not forget him when sent to the wall ,
    If you'll only listen I'll make your eyes glisten ,
    At the rows and ructions at Lannigans ball.
