[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 |
