Tim finnegan lived in walkin' street[00:00:00]
A gentleman irishman mighty odd[00:00:03]
He had a brogue both rich and sweet[00:00:07]
And to rise in the world he carried a hod[00:00:10]
Now tim had a sort of the tippler's way[00:00:14]
With a love of the liquor poor tim was born[00:00:16]
And to help him on with his work each day[00:00:19]
He'd a drop of the cray-thur every morn[00:00:21]
Whack fol me darlin' dance to your partner[00:00:23]
Round the floor your trotters shake[00:00:25]
Wasn't it the truth i told you[00:00:27]
Lots of fun at finnegan's wake[00:00:29]
One mornin' tim felt rather full[00:00:32]
His head was heavy and it made him shake[00:00:35]
He fell off the ladder and broke his skull[00:00:38]
So they carried him home his corpse to wake[00:00:42]
They rolled him up in a nice clean sheet[00:00:45]
And laid him out upon the bed[00:00:48]
With a gallon of whiskey at his feet[00:00:50]
And a case of the blue star at his head[00:00:52]
Whack fol me darlin' dance to your partner[00:00:54]
Round the floor your trotters shake[00:00:56]
Wasn't it the truth i told you[00:00:58]
Lots of fun at finnegan's wake[00:01:00]
His friends assembled at the wake[00:01:04]
And mrs finnegan called for lunch[00:01:06]
They brought in tea and whisky cake[00:01:11]
Then pipes tobacco and brandy punch[00:01:13]
Then biddy o'brien began to cry[00:01:16]
Such a nice clean corpse did you ever see[00:01:19]
O tim mavourneen why did you die[00:01:21]
Arragh hold your gob says paddy mcghee[00:01:23]
Whack fol me darlin' dance to your partner[00:01:25]
Round the floor your trotters shake[00:01:27]
Wasn't it the truth i told you[00:01:29]
Lots of fun at finnegan's wake[00:01:31]
Then maggie o'connor took up the job[00:01:35]
Now biddy says she you're wrong i'm sure[00:01:37]
And biddy she gave her a belt in the gob[00:01:41]
And left her sprawlin' on the floor[00:01:44]
Civil war did then engage[00:01:48]
'Twas woman to woman and man to man[00:01:51]
Shillelagh law was all the rage[00:01:53]
And a row and a ruction soon began[00:01:55]
Whack fol me darlin' dance to your partner[00:01:57]
Round the floor your trotters shake[00:01:59]
Wasn't it the truth i told you[00:02:01]
Lots of fun at finnegan's wake[00:02:03]
Then mickey maloney ducked his head[00:02:07]
When a bottle of whiskey flew at him[00:02:09]
It missed and falling on the bed[00:02:13]
The liquor scattered over tim[00:02:16]
Tim revives see how he rises[00:02:21]
Tim finnegan rising in the bed[00:02:25]
Saying whirling your whiskey around like blazes[00:02:28]
Well holy jesus do you think i'm dead[00:02:30]
Whack fol me darlin' dance to your partner[00:02:33]
Round the floor your trotters shake[00:02:35]
Wasn't it the truth i told you[00:02:37]
Lots of fun at finnegan's wake[00:02:38]
Whack fol me darlin' dance to your partner[00:02:41]
Round the floor your trotters shake[00:02:43]
Wasn't it the truth i told you[00:02:45]
Lots of fun at finnegan's wake[00:02:47]
