"Lannigan's Ball" is in John K. Casey's 'The Rising of the Moon, and other Ballads, Songs, and Legends', n.d., (1864 or slightly later) without attribution. Also there is "Lannigan's Wake" 'Written and first sung in America by William Carleton at Tony Pastor's Opera House, New York. Air - Lannigan's Ball.' This commences "No doubt yee have heard of poor Jerry Lannigan".
