[00:18.139] No doubt you've all heard of the hop of Tim Lannigan
[00:22.579] 'Twas nothing to what I will tell you about.
[00:26.207] At a spree I once had in great Washington City,
[00:30.312] To see which I got all my new clothes out of spout.
[00:34.422] One evening a ticket I got for the White House.
[00:38.247] All dressed in my best on old Abe I did call.
[00:42.495] Be jabbers, the fun it will ne'er be forgotten
[00:46.182] The night I did dance at the president's ball.
[00:54.744] A servant, he stood at the door for to take me to
[00:58.581] Where Abraham and his lady did stand.
[01:02.155] So nervous I felt that a trifle would shake me
[01:06.203] Til the lady herself took me gently in hand.
[01:10.238] But when they struck up with a hundred wee fiddles,
[01:14.304] And Billy O'Seward the dances did call,
[01:18.368] There was me and old Chase and his wife and his daughters
[01:22.194] Danced Father Jack Walsh at the president's ball.
[01:34.647] There was Henry Beecher and Barnum's "What-is-it"
[01:38.464] And the mayor of Squedunck with an Albany gal,
[01:42.155] With ten thousand sutlers and army contractors
[01:46.168] And brigadier generals no figures could tell.
[01:50.224] There was Fernandy Wood and a host of place seekers
[01:54.239] But soon a loud shout did ascend through the hall.
[01:58.061] 'Twas the people applauding brave Grant and McClellan,
[02:02.160] The pride and the joy of the president's ball.
[03:28.935] A soldier, he came and he tried for to enter
[03:32.678] With medals for battles all over his breast.
[03:36.554] But being a private nobody durst venture
[03:40.618] To let him come in there of shoddy the best.
[03:44.587] The British ambassador were just about to leave,
[03:48.657] And he managed to steal Mrs. Cunningham's shawl.
[03:52.851] And Miles O'Reiley, the prince of all poets,
[03:56.633] He pinched all the spoons at the president's ball.
[04:09.232] When daylight broke, they stopped all the dancing,
[04:12.579] And then there commenced such a hullabaloo.
[04:16.545] For senator Sumner, he drank to Jeff Davis
[04:20.698] And Stanton, he swore he would quick put them through.
[04:24.565] Then at it they went like Tom King and Heenin
[04:28.778] The police rushed in as the ladies did squall.
[04:32.701] They carried Abe Lincoln home drunk on a stretcher
[04:38.274] And that put an end to the president's ball.

[00:18.139] 你一定听过蒂姆拉赫曼的传奇
[00:22.579] 这和我要讲的故事还不能相比
[00:26.207] 我有回到华盛顿真是兴奋至极
[00:30.312] 为了这还穿上了最好的新衣裳
[00:34.422] 那晚我终于拿到了白宫的门票
[00:38.247] 精心打扮俊俏以应老亚伯的邀
[00:42.495] 老天爷啊,这喜事我一辈子不会忘
[00:46.182] 那晚我在总统的舞会上跳舞
[00:54.744] 有个侍从他站在门口引我进去
[00:58.581] 一路带到亚伯拉罕和夫人面前
[01:02.155] 我紧张得一点动静都让我发抖
[01:06.203] 直到总统夫人温柔地握着我手
[01:10.238] 但是当那上百把小提琴响起
[01:14.304] 那老西华德(William H. Seward)就立刻翩翩起舞
[01:18.368] 我和老蔡司和他的妻女和神父
[01:22.194] 杰克沃什一起在总统舞会跳起舞
[01:34.647] 那有亨利比彻(Henry Ward Beecher)和巴纳姆的把戏(P. T. Barnum)
[01:38.464] 斯肯德克市长和奥尔巴尼女孩
[01:42.155] 还上万的军需官和武器制造商
[01:46.168] 还有无数的准将甚至报不出名(毕竟还没马值钱)
[01:50.224] 费南多伍德和一帮攀权附贵者也在
[01:54.239] 但是一声高呼突然在大厅回响
[01:58.061] 那是给勇士格兰特与麦克莱伦的掌声
[02:02.160] 光荣与喜悦响彻总统的舞会
[03:28.935] 一个士兵他来到也希望能进入
[03:32.678] 他胸前挂满了累累的战争勋章
[03:36.554] 想想作为民兵谁不曾历过艰险
[03:40.618] 他进到里头便是冒牌货中最好
[03:44.587] 那英帝国的大使正准备要离开
[03:48.657] 他居然偷了科宁汉(大概是James A. Cunningham)夫人的披肩
[03:52.851] 还有迈尔斯莱利(Charles Graham Halpine)诗人中属第一
[03:56.633] 他在总统舞会上掂量所有汤勺
[04:09.232] 当天色渐明他们都停下了舞蹈
[04:12.579] 然后便开始了一场小小的骚动
[04:16.545] 参议员桑姆纳(Charles Sumner)为杰夫戴维斯举杯
[04:20.698] 斯坦顿(Edwin Stanton)说他迟早把他们都干掉
[04:24.565] 他们来来去去就像汤姆金(Thomas Starr King)和海宁(也许是John C. Heenan)
[04:28.778] 警察很快冲入而女士们向外跑
[04:32.701] 他们把喝醉的林肯担架抬回家
[04:38.274] 宣告了总统舞会的结束
