Tim Finnegan's Wake - The Clancy Brothers[00:00:00]
Tim finnegan lived in watling street[00:01:00]
A gentle irishman mighty odd[00:01:03]
He'd a beautiful brogue so rich and sweet[00:01:06]
To rise in the world he carried a hod[00:01:08]
See he'd sort of a tipplin' way[00:01:10]
With love for the liquor poor tim was born[00:01:12]
To help him a man with his work each day[00:01:13]
He'd a drop of the craythin' every morn[00:01:16]
Whack fol de dah[00:01:18]
Now dance to your partner[00:01:18]
Welt the floor your trotters shake[00:01:20]
Wasn't it the truth they told ye lots of fun[00:01:22]
At finnegan's wake[00:01:24]
One morning tim got rather full[00:01:25]
His head felt heavy which made him shake[00:01:27]
Fell from a ladder and he broke his skull[00:01:29]
They carried him home his corpse to wake[00:01:31]
Rolled him up in a nice clean sheet[00:01:33]
And laid him out upon the bed[00:01:35]
A gallon of whiskey at his feet[00:01:37]
And a bottle of porter at his head[00:01:39]
Whack fol de dah[00:01:41]
Now dance to your partner[00:01:42]
Welt the floor your trotters shake[00:01:43]
Wasn't it the truth they told ye lots of fun[00:01:45]
At finnegan's wake[00:01:48]
His friends assembled at the wake[00:01:49]
And misses finnegan called for lunch[00:01:51]
First she brought in tea and cake[00:01:53]
Then pipes tobacco and whiskey punch[00:01:55]
Biddy o'brien began to cry[00:01:57]
Such a nice clean corpse did you ever see[00:01:59]
Tim me boy yadda hoy dida ho yada[00:02:01]
Arrah hold your gobâ said patty megee[00:02:03]
Whack fol de dah[00:02:05]
Now dance to your partner[00:02:06]
Welt the floor your trotters shake[00:02:07]
Wasn't it the truth they told ye lots of fun[00:02:09]
At finnegan's wake[00:02:12]
Then o'connor took up the job[00:02:13]
Arrah biddy says she ye're wrong I'm sure[00:02:15]
Biddy then gave her a belt on the gob[00:02:17]
And left her sprawling on the floor[00:02:19]
There the war did soon engage[00:02:21]
Woman to woman and man to man[00:02:23]
Shillelah law was all the rage[00:02:25]
An a row and a ruction soon began[00:02:27]
Whack fol de dah[00:02:29]
Now dance to your partner[00:02:30]
Welt the floor your trotters shake[00:02:31]
Wasn't it the truth they told ye lots of fun[00:02:33]
At finnegan's wake[00:02:35]
Then mickey maloney raised his head[00:02:36]
When a bottle of whiskey flew at him[00:02:38]
It missed him falling on the bed[00:02:40]
The liquor scattered over tim[00:02:42]
Tim revives see how he rises[00:02:45]
Timothy rising from the bed[00:02:48]
Then whirl your whiskey around[00:02:51]
Like blazes thanum o'n dhoul[00:02:53]
Do ye think I'm dead[00:02:54]
Whack fol de dah[00:02:55]
Now dance to your partner[00:02:56]
Welt the floor your trotters shake[00:02:57]
Wasn't it the truth they told ye lots of fun[00:02:59]
At finnegan's wake[00:03:02]
