Finnegan's Wake - Waxies Dargle[00:00:00]
Ah Tim Finnegan lived in Walkin' Street[00:00:02]
A gentleman Irish mighty odd[00:00:06]
Well he had a tongue both rich and sweet[00:00:10]
An' to rise in the world he carried a hod[00:00:14]
Ah but Tim had a sort of a tipplin' way[00:00:19]
With the love of the liquor he was born[00:00:22]
An' to send 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 will ya dance to yer partner[00:00:35]
Around the flure yer trotters shake[00:00:37]
Wasn't it the truth I told you [00:00:40]
Lots of fun at Finnegan's Wake[00:00:43]
One morning Tim was rather full[00:00:47]
His head felt heavy which made him shake[00:00:50]
He fell off the ladder and he broke his skull[00:00:52]
And they carried him home his corpse to wake[00:00:55]
Well they rolled him up in a nice clean sheet[00:00:57]
And they laid him out upon the bed[00:01:00]
With 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 will ya dance to yer partner[00:01:07]
Around the flure yer trotters shake[00:01:10]
Wasn't it the truth I told you [00:01:12]
Lots of fun at Finnegan's Wake[00:01:15]
Well his friends assembled at the wake[00:01:20]
And Mrs Finnegan called for lunch[00:01:22]
Well first they brought in tay and cake[00:01:25]
Then pipes tobacco and brandy punch[00:01:27]
Then the widow Malone began to cry[00:01:30]
"Such a lovely corpse did you ever see [00:01:32]
Arrah Tim avourneen why did you die "[00:01:35]
"Will ye hould your gob " said Molly McGee[00:01:37]
Whack fol the dah will ya dance to yer partner[00:01:40]
Around the flure yer trotters shake[00:01:42]
Wasn't it the truth I told you [00:01:44]
Lots of fun at Finnegan's Wake[00:01:47]
Well Mary O'Connor took up the job[00:01:51]
"Biddy" says she "you're wrong I'm sure"[00:01:54]
Well Biddy gave her a belt in the gob[00:01:56]
And left her sprawling on the floor[00:01:59]
Well civil war did then engage[00:02:01]
T'was woman to woman and man to man[00:02:03]
Shillelagh law was all the rage[00:02:06]
And a row and a ruction soon began[00:02:08]
Whack fol the dah will ya dance to yer partner[00:02:11]
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]
Well Tim Maloney raised his head[00:02:22]
When a bottle of whiskey flew at him[00:02:26]
He ducked and landing on the bed[00:02:29]
The whiskey scattered over Tim[00:02:33]
Bedad he revives see how he rises[00:02:37]
Tim Finnegan rising in the bed[00:02:41]
Saying "Whittle your whiskey around like blazes[00:02:45]
T'underin' Jaysus do ye think I'm dead "[00:02:48]
Whack fol the dah will ya dance to yer partner[00:02:50]
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]
