WIDOW MULROONY'S BALL.
Air: Bryan O'Lynn.
H. De Marsan, Pub. 54 Chatham Street, N. Y. [n. d.]

Listen a while, and I'll sing you a ditty
About a grand party, in this famous city,
At a fine institution called Hibernian Hall,
Which surely knocked spots out of Lannigan's ball.

There was Tim Mulkeaghy and Bridget O'Nale,
Maguffin' McSweeny, and Paudeen McPhail:
And the Galleghers, and Murphys from sweet Donegal,
Came to shake their flat feet at Mulroony's ball.

There was lame Judy Burke, and McManus the big,
Who was transported from Ireland for stealing a pig:
With one-eyed McSweeny, and fat Micky Gerall,
Dancing their brains out at Mulroony's ball.

Next came Pat O'Flanigan with his big red nose,
Dressed up to kill in a new suit of clothes;
He no sooner came in, than on the floor he did fall,
Raising the first laugh at Mulroony's grand ball.

Pat Maguffin got up, and he swore by the rope:
No man should dance till he first paid the soap;
As 'twas to bring to this country the widdy so small,
They got up the grand shindig at Hibernian Hall.

The table was laid, he collected the tin,
The fiddle struck up, and the dancing begin;
For a breakdown, of course, Mulkeaghy did call:
Sure, there was nothing but breakdowns at Mulroony's ball.

After dancing a few jigs and a three-handed reel,
Casey called for a song from Timothy Freel,
Who sung: "Paddy's Wedding" to the delight of all;
For, they were all merry at Mulroony's ball.

The dance was kept up till the middle of the night,
When Cork got glorious, and Kerry got tight;
Tim Mulkeaghy struck out at poor Micky Gerall:
She began the blue murder at Mulroony's ball.

Eyes were knocked out, and noses battered in,
The table was upset, and down came the tin,
All in postage stamps (stickers,) both large and small,
Which stuck to the floor of the Hibernian Hall.

But the sport was soon stopped by a squad of police
Who arrested the rioters for breaking the peace,
And broke up the "you and your partner" ball
Of the Widdy Mulroony, at Hibernian Hall.
