Tim finnegan lived in watling street[00:00:20]
A gentle irishman mighty odd[00:00:24]
He'd a beautiful brogue so rich and sweet[00:00:26]
To rise in the world he carried a hod[00:00:28]
See he'd sort of a tipplin' way[00:00:30]
With love for the liquor poor tim was born[00:00:31]
To help him a man with his work each day[00:00:33]
He'd a drop of the craythin' every morn[00:00:35]
Whack fol de dah[00:00:37]
Now dance to your partner[00:00:38]
Welt the floor your trotters shake[00:00:39]
Wasn't it the truth they told ye lots of fun[00:00:41]
At finnegan's wake[00:00:43]
One morning tim got rather full[00:00:45]
His head felt heavy which made him shake[00:00:46]
Fell from a ladder and he broke his skull[00:00:48]
They carried him home his corpse to wake[00:00:50]
Rolled him up in a nice clean sheet[00:00:52]
And laid him out upon the bed[00:00:54]
A gallon of whiskey at his feet[00:00:56]
And a bottle of porter at his head[00:00:58]
Whack fol de dah[00:01:00]
Now dance to your partner[00:01:00]
Welt the floor your trotters shake[00:01:02]
Wasn't it the truth they told ye lots of fun[00:01:03]
At finnegan's wake[00:01:06]
His friends assembled at the wake[00:01:07]
And misses finnegan called for lunch[00:01:09]
First she brought in tea and cake[00:01:11]
Then pipes tobacco and whiskey punch[00:01:13]
Biddy o'brien began to cry[00:01:15]
Such a nice clean corpse did you ever see[00:01:16]
Tim me boy yadda hoy dida ho yada[00:01:18]
Arrah hold your gobâ said patty megee[00:01:20]
Whack fol de dah[00:01:22]
Now dance to your partner[00:01:23]
Welt the floor your trotters shake[00:01:24]
Wasn't it the truth they told ye lots of fun[00:01:26]
At finnegan's wake[00:01:28]
Then o'connor took up the job[00:01:30]
Arrah biddy says she ye're wrong I'm sure[00:01:31]
Biddy then gave her a belt on the gob[00:01:33]
And left her sprawling on the floor[00:01:35]
There the war did soon engage[00:01:37]
Woman to woman and man to man[00:01:39]
Shillelah law was all the rage[00:01:40]
An a row and a ruction soon began[00:01:43]
Whack fol de dah[00:01:45]
Now dance to your partner[00:01:45]
Welt the floor your trotters shake[00:01:46]
Wasn't it the truth they told ye lots of fun[00:01:48]
At finnegan's wake[00:01:51]
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[00:01:57]
Tim revives see how he rises[00:01:59]
Timothy rising from the bed[00:02:01]
Then whirl your whiskey around[00:02:03]
Like blazes thanum o'n dhoul[00:02:05]
Do ye think I'm dead[00:02:06]
Whack fol de dah[00:02:07]
Now dance to your partner[00:02:08]
Welt the floor your trotters shake[00:02:09]
Wasn't it the truth they told ye lots of fun[00:02:10]
At finnegan's wake[00:02:13]
