Finnegan's Wake - The Irish Masters[00:00:00]
Tim Finnegan lived in Walkin Street[00:00:02]
A gentle Irishman mighty odd[00:00:06]
He had a brogue both rich and sweet[00:00:10]
An' to rise in the world he carried a hod[00:00:14]
You see he'd a sort of a tipplers way[00:00:19]
But the love for the liquor poor Tim was born[00:00:23]
To help him on his way each day[00:00:27]
He'd a drop of the craythur every morn[00:00:32]
Whack fol the dah now dance to yer[00:00:35]
Partner around the flure yer trotters shake[00:00:38]
Wasn't it the truth I told you[00:00:40]
Lots of fun at Finnegan's wake[00:00:42]
One morning Tim got rather full[00:00:47]
His head felt heavy which made him shake[00:00:50]
Fell from a ladder and he broke his skull[00:00:53]
And they carried him home his corpse to wake[00:00:55]
Rolled him up in a nice clean sheet[00:00:58]
And laid him out upon the bed[00:01:00]
A bottle of whiskey at his feet[00:01:02]
And a barrel of porter at his head[00:01:05]
Whack fol the dah now dance to yer[00:01:08]
Partner around the flure yer trotters shake[00:01:10]
Wasn't it the truth I told you[00:01:13]
Lots of fun at Finnegan's wake[00:01:15]
His friends assembled at the wake[00:01:20]
And Mrs Finnegan called for lunch[00:01:22]
First she brought in tay and cake[00:01:25]
Then pipes tobacco and whiskey punch[00:01:27]
Biddy O'Brien began to cry[00:01:30]
Such a nice clean corpse did you ever see[00:01:32]
Tim avourneen why did you die[00:01:35]
Will ye hould your gob said paddy McGee[00:01:37]
Whack fol the dah now dance to yer[00:01:40]
Partner around the flure yer trotters shake[00:01:42]
Wasn't it the truth I told you[00:01:45]
Lots of fun at Finnegan's wake[00:01:47]
Then Maggie O'Connor took up the job[00:01:51]
Biddy says she you're wrong I'm sure[00:01:54]
Biddy gave her a belt in the[00:01:57]
Gob and left her sprawling on the floor[00:01:59]
Then the war did soon engage[00:02:01]
T'was woman to woman and man to man[00:02:04]
Shillelagh law was all the rage[00:02:06]
And a row and a ruction soon began[00:02:09]
Whack fol the dah now dance to yer[00:02:11]
Partner around the flure yer trotters shake[00:02:13]
Wasn't it the truth I told you[00:02:16]
Lots of fun at Finnegan's wake[00:02:18]
Mickey Maloney ducked his head when[00:02:23]
A bucket of whiskey flew at him[00:02:26]
It missed and falling on the bed[00:02:29]
The liquor scattered over Tim[00:02:33]
Bedad he revives see how he rises[00:02:37]
Timothy rising from the bed[00:02:41]
Saying whittle your whiskey around[00:02:45]
Like blazes t'undering jaysus do ye think I'm dead[00:02:48]
Whack fol the dah now dance to yer[00:02:51]
Partner around the flure yer trotters shake[00:02:53]
Wasn't it the truth I told you[00:02:55]
Lots of fun at Finnegan's wake[00:02:58]
