Finnegan's Wake - Clancy Brothers[00:00:00]

Tim Finnegan lived in watling street[00:00:02]

A gentle Irishman mighty odd[00:00:05]

He'd a beautiful brogue so rich and sweet[00:00:07]

To rise in the world he carried a hod[00:00:10]

See he'd sort of a tipplin' way[00:00:12]

With love for the liquor poor Tim was born[00:00:14]

To help him a man with his work each day[00:00:17]

He'd a drop of the craythin' every morn'[00:00:19]

Whack fol de dah[00:00:21]

Now dance to your partner[00:00:22]

Welt the floor your trotters shake[00:00:23]

Wasn't it the truth they told ye lots of fun[00:00:26]

At Finnegan's wake[00:00:29]

One morning Tim got rather full[00:00:30]

His head felt heavy which made him shake[00:00:32]

Fell from a ladder and he broke his skull[00:00:35]

They carried him home his corpse to wake[00:00:37]

Rolled him up in a nice clean sheet[00:00:39]

And laid him out upon the bed[00:00:42]

A gallon of whiskey at his feet[00:00:44]

And a bottle of porter at his head[00:00:46]

Whack fol de dah[00:00:48]

Now dance to your partner[00:00:50]

Welt the floor your trotters shake[00:00:51]

Wasn't it the truth they told ye lots of fun[00:00:53]

At Finnegan's wake[00:00:56]

His friends assembled at the wake[00:00:57]

And misses Finnegan called for lunch[00:01:00]

First she brought in tea and cake[00:01:02]

Then pipes tobacco and whiskey punch[00:01:04]

Biddy O'Brien began to cry[00:01:07]

Such a nice clean corpse did you ever see [00:01:09]

Tim me boy yadda hoy dida ho yada[00:01:11]

Arrah hold your gobâ said Patty Megee[00:01:13]

Whack fol de dah[00:01:16]

Now dance to your partner[00:01:17]

Welt the floor your trotters shake[00:01:18]

Wasn't it the truth they told ye lots of fun[00:01:20]

At Finnegan's wake[00:01:23]

Then O'Connor took up the job[00:01:25]

"Arrah" biddy says she ye're wrong I'm sure[00:01:27]

Biddy then gave her a belt on the gob[00:01:29]

And left her sprawling on the floor[00:01:31]

There the war did soon engage[00:01:34]

Woman to woman and man to man[00:01:36]

Shillelah law was all the rage[00:01:38]

An a row and a ruction soon began[00:01:40]

Whack fol de dah[00:01:43]

Now dance to your partner[00:01:44]

Welt the floor your trotters shake[00:01:45]

Wasn't it the truth they told ye lots of fun[00:01:47]

At Finnegan's wake[00:01:50]

Then Mickey Maloney raised his head[00:01:52]

When a bottle of whiskey flew at him[00:01:54]

It missed him falling on the bed[00:01:56]

The liquor scattered over Tim[00:01:58]

Tim revives see how he rises[00:02:00]

Timothy rising from the bed[00:02:03]

Then Whirl your whiskey around[00:02:04]

Like blazes Thanum o'n Dhoul[00:02:06]

Do ye think I'm dead [00:02:07]

Whack fol de dah[00:02:09]

Now dance to your partner[00:02:10]

Welt the floor your trotters shake[00:02:12]

Wasn't it the truth they told ye lots of fun[00:02:14]

At Finnegan's wake[00:02:16]
