Finnigan's Wake - The Clancy Brothers & Tommy Makem[00:00:00]

Tim Finnegan lived in Walking Street[00:00:02]

A gentle Irishman mighty odd[00:00:04]

He had a brogue both rich and sweet[00:00:07]

An' to rise in the world he carried a hod[00:00:09]

You see he'd a sort of a tipplers way[00:00:11]

But the love for the liquor poor[00:00:13]

Tim was born[00:00:15]

To help him on his way each day[00:00:16]

He'd a drop of the craythur every morn[00:00:18]

Whack fol the dah now dance to yer partner[00:00:20]

Around the flure yer trotters shake[00:00:23]

Wasn't it the truth I told you[00:00:25]

Lots of fun at Finnegan's Wake[00:00:27]

One morning Tim got rather full[00:00:29]

His head felt heavy which made him shake[00:00:31]

He fell from a ladder and[00:00:33]

He broke his skull[00:00:35]

And they carried him home[00:00:35]

His corpse to wake[00:00:37]

Rolled him up in a nice clean sheet[00:00:38]

And laid him out upon the bed[00:00:40]

A bottle of whiskey at his feet[00:00:42]

And a barrel of porter at his head[00:00:44]

Whack fol the dah now[00:00:47]

Dance to yer partner a[00:00:48]

Round the flure yer trotters shake[00:00:49]

Wasn't it the truth I told you[00:00:51]

Lots of fun at Finnegan's Wake[00:00:53]

His friends assembled at the wake[00:00:55]

And Mrs Finnegan called for lunch[00:00:57]

First she brought in tay and cake[00:01:00]

Then pipes tobacco and whiskey punch[00:01:02]

Biddy O'Brien began to cry[00:01:04]

Such a nice clean corpse[00:01:06]

Did you ever see[00:01:07]

Tim avourneen[00:01:08]

Why did you die[00:01:09]

Will ye hould your gob[00:01:10]

Said Paddy McGee[00:01:11]

Whack fol the dah now[00:01:12]

Dance to yer partner[00:01:14]

Around the flure yer trotters shake[00:01:15]

Wasn't it the truth I told you[00:01:17]

Lots of fun at Finnegan's Wake[00:01:19]

Then Maggie O'Connor took up the job[00:01:21]

Biddy says she you're wrong I'm sure[00:01:23]

Biddy gave her a belt in the gob[00:01:26]

And left her sprawling on the floor[00:01:28]

Then the war did soon engage[00:01:30]

Woman to woman and man to man[00:01:32]

Shillelagh law was all the rage[00:01:34]

And a row and a ruction soon began[00:01:36]

Whack fol the dah now dance to yer partner[00:01:39]

Around the flure yer trotters shake[00:01:41]

Wasn't it the truth I told you[00:01:43]

Lots of fun at Finnegan's Wake[00:01:45]

Mickey Maloney rise his head[00:01:47]

When a bucket of whiskey flew at him[00:01:49]

It missed and falling on the bed[00:01:51]

The liquor scattered over Tim[00:01:53]

He got her revives[00:01:56]

See how he rises[00:01:57]

Timothy rising from the bed[00:01:58]

Saying Whittle your whiskey around like blazes[00:02:00]

It underin' Jaysus[00:02:02]

Do ye think I'm dead[00:02:03]

Whack fol the dah now dance to yer partner[00:02:04]

Around the flure yer trotters shake[00:02:06]

Wasn't it the truth I told you[00:02:09]

Lots of fun at Finnegan's Wake[00:02:11]
