Ball Of Kerrymuir

Jim Croce

Transposer:

[Verse] Four and twenty virgins Come down from Inverness. When the ball was over            D               G There were four and twenty less. [Chorus] Singin’ Balls to your partner Your ass against the wall. If you’ve never been had on a Saturday night You’ve never been had at all. [Verse] 
There was doin’ in the parlour There was doin’ on the stones. You couldn’t hear the music For the wheezin’ and the groans. [Chorus] Singin’ Balls to your partner Your ass against the wall. If you’ve never been had on a Saturday night You’ve never been had at all. [Verse] The undertaker he was there All wrapped up in a shroud Swingin’ from the chandelier And peein’ on the crowd. [Chorus] Singin’ Balls to your partner Your ass against the wall. If you’ve never been had on a Saturday night You’ve never been had at all. [Verse] The village cripple he was there But he couldn’t do much. So he lined the ladies against the wall And did ’em with his crutch. [Chorus] Singin’ Balls to your partner Your ass against the wall. If you’ve never been had on a Saturday night You’ve never been had at all. [Verse] Miss Molly McFearson Was standin’ way up front With some posies in her hand And a carrot up ’er… [Chorus] Singin’ Balls to your partner Your ass against the wall. If you’ve never been had on a Saturday night You’ve never been had at all. [Verse] The village postman he was there Though the poor lad had the pox. He couldn’t do the lassies So he did the letterbox. [Chorus] Singin’ Balls to your partner Your ass against the wall. If you’ve never been had on a Saturday night You’ve never been had at all. [Verse] The village magician he was there He gave us all a laugh. He pulled his foreskin over his head And vanished up his ass. [Chorus] Singin’ Balls to your partner Your ass against the wall. If you’ve never been had on a Saturday night You’ve never been had at all.

Cette chanson raconte une histoire pleine d'humour et d'excès lors d'une fête bien arrosée où les protagonistes se laissent aller aux plaisirs de la danse et des rencontres. On y décrit des personnages hauts en couleur, comme le croque-mort et le villageois handicapé, chacun participant à une ambiance débridée. Les refrains évoquent une certaine légèreté et une plaisanterie sur les habits des participants, faisant allusion à des situations cocasses et indécentes, le tout dans une atmosphère de fête où la moquerie et le jeu sont omniprésents. Le contexte me fait penser à ces bals traditionnels où l'alcool et la musique réunissent les gens, permettant à chacun de vivre des moments d'euphorie, parfois un peu trop révélateurs, mais toujours dans un esprit de camaraderie et de joie partagée. Ces événements, bien que festifs, peuvent également porter un message sur la nature humaine et ses caprices.
