JIM TOLAND - Hannigans Hooley Lyrics

Now Hannigan was an Irish man, he came from Erin's Isle
He was a rogue who had a brogue you'd hear for half a mile
When Hannigan throws a Hooley sure the word it gets about
Though you may be a stranger, if you're passin' by, he'd shout

Hey, come into the parlour, you can make yourself at home
Come into the parlour, sure you won't be on your own
There's Mick McGee, there's Rafferty, said there's Murphy and Muldoon
There's Mick McGilligey's daughter, doesn't know the taste of water

Their gaits are stout, they're stickin' out, there's grub for half the town
There's plenty of good old whisky if you want to wash it down
So if you're Irish, you sure are welcome
For there's a Hooley on at Hannigan's house tonight

Now theres a Hannigan, Brannigan, Mickey Malone
Mrs O'Rafferty, Bridget McKewn
Now (?......................?) will play a jig with all he's might
When Brady meets O'Grady, their eruptions are a fight
And take it from me, there's a hell of a spree at Hannigan's house tonight

Come into the parlour, you can make yourself at home
Come into the parlour, sure you won't be on your own
There's Mick McGee, there's Rafferty, said there's Murphy and Muldoon
There's Mick McGilligey's daughter, doesn't know the taste of water

There gait's are stout, they're stickin' out, there's grub for half the town
There's plenty of good old whisky if you want to wash it down
So if you're Irish, you sure are welcome
For there's a Hooley on at Hannigan's house tonight

Now Hannigan was an Irish man, he came from Erin's Isle
He was a rogue who had a brogue you'd hear for half a mile
When Hannigan throws a Hooley sure
