In the town of a thigh, when [E] Jeremy Lannigan battered away
Till he [B] had to pound his father, he died.

O' braids, these portentous girls,
And dancing away.
[Bm] _ They were doing all kinds of nonsense,
[A] To give all the gaza on the room
And no bird [Bm] leaking.
Till Julian I soon banished their nonsense
And tipped them with twists of a railer's cheek.
Oh, that girl, [A] she got mad at me,

Dancing together in couples and [Bm] groups.
Till an accident happened, young Terence McCarthy,
He put [B] his right leg through the infirmary's hose.
The creature she fainted and cried,
Me, the murderer, [F#m] call for her brothers
And gather [Bm] them all.
Charity swore that he'd go no [B] further,
He'd have [Bm] satisfaction at Lannigan's ball.
_ In the midst of the row, Miss [A] Kerrigan fainted,
Her cheeks at the same time as [Bm] red as the rose.
Some of the boys decreed she was painted,
She took a smile, dropped too much, I suppose.
But Peter, that marvellous, so [E] powerful and naïve,
And when he [F#m] saw his fair cat, he stretched with the [Bm] wall.

And smashed all [B] the dishes at Lannigan's bar.

And kicked him a terrible [B] hullabaloo. _
