Phil the Fluter's Ball
Written by Percy French,
D
1 Have you heard of Phil the Fluter,
G D
Of the town of Bally-muck?
D
The times were going hard with him,
D A7
In fact the man was broke.
D
So he sent an invitation
G D
To his neighbours, one and all
D G
As how he'd like their company
Em A7 D
That evening at a ball.
D A7
2 And when writin' out
G D
He was careful to suggest to them,
D A
That if they found a hat of his
E7 A
Con-venient to the dure,(=door)
D A
The more they put in,
G D
When-ever he re-quested them
D A
The better would the music be
D A7 D
For batte-rin' the flure.(=floor)
Chorus: D
With a toot on the flute,
G D
And a twiddle on the fiddle-Oh;
D G
Hopping in the middle,
D A7
like a herrin' on the griddle-Oh.
D
Up, down, hands around,
G
And crossing to the wall
D G
Sure hadn't we the gaiety
Em A7 D
At Phil the Fluter's ball.
D
3 There was Mister Denis Doherty,
G D
Who kept a running dog;
D
There was little crooked Paddy,
D A7
From the Tiraloughett bog;
D
There was boys from every Barony,
G D
And girls from ev'ry 'art'
D G
And the beautiful Miss Bradys
Em A7 D
In their private ass and cart.
D A7
4 A-long with them came
G D
bouncing Mrs. Cafferty,
D A
Little Micky Mulligan
E7 A
Was also to the fore,
D A
Rose, - Su-zanne, -
G D
And Margaret O'Rafferty,
D A
The flow'r_of Ard_Na_Gullion,
D A7 D
And the pride of Petra-vore.
Chorus: D
With a toot on the flute,
G D
And a twiddle on the fiddle-Oh;
D G
Hopping in the middle,
D A7
like a herrin' on the griddle-Oh.
D
Up, down, hands around,
G
And crossing to the wall
D G
Sure hadn't we the gaiety
Em A7 D
At Phil the Fluter's ball.
D
5 First, little Micky Mulligan
G D
Got up to show them how,
D
And then the widow Cafferty
D A7
Steps out and makes her bow.
D
'I'll dance you off your legs', sez she,
G D
'As sure as you were born,
D G
If_ye'll only make the piper play,
Em A7 D
"The hare was in the corn."'
D A7
6 So Phil plays up
G D
To the best of his ability,
D A
The ladies and the gentlemen
E7 A
Be-gin to do their share;
D A
'Faith' then Mick,
G D
'It's you that has a-gility:
D A
Be-gob an' Mrs. Cafferty,
D A7 D
Ye're leppin' like a hare!'
Chorus: D
With a toot on the flute,
G D
And a twiddle on the fiddle-Oh;
D G
Hopping in the middle,
D A7
like a herrin' on the griddle-Oh.
D
Up, down, hands around,
G
And crossing to the wall
D G
Sure hadn't we the gaiety
Em A7 D
At Phil the Fluter's ball.
D
7 Then Phil the fluter tipped a wink
G D
To little crooked Pat,
D
'I think it's nearly time,' sez he,
D A7
'For passin' round the hat.'
D
So Paddy pass'd the caubeen round,
G D
And looking very cute,
D G
Said, 'Ye've got to pay the piper
Em A7 D
When he tootles on the flute.'
D A7
8 Then all joined in
G D
With the greatest jovi-ality,
D A
Covering the buckle,
E7 A
And the shuffle, and the cut;
D A
Jigs were danced
G D
Of the very finest quality,
D A
But_the_widow bate the company
D A7
At 'hand-ling the foot.'
Chorus: D
With a toot on the flute,
G D
And a twiddle on the fiddle-Oh;
D G
Hopping in the middle,
D A7
like a herrin' on the griddle-Oh.
D
Up, down, hands around,
G
And crossing to the wall
D G
Sure hadn't we the gaiety
Em A7 D
At Phil the Fluter's ball.
