Jim Toland Hannigans Hooley Lyrics

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
