Finnegan's Wake - Clancy Brothers[00:00:00]
Tim Finnegan lived in watling street[00:00:03]
A gentle Irishman mighty odd[00:00:06]
He'd a beautiful brogue so rich and sweet[00:00:08]
To rise in the world he carried a hod[00:00:11]
See he'd sort of a tipplin' way[00:00:13]
With love for the liquor poor Tim was born[00:00:15]
To help him a man with his work each day[00:00:17]
He'd a drop of the craythin' every morn'[00:00:20]
Whack fol de dah[00:00:22]
Now dance to your partner[00:00:23]
Welt the floor your trotters shake[00:00:24]
Wasn't it the truth they told ye lots of fun[00:00:27]
At Finnegan's wake[00:00:30]
One morning Tim got rather full[00:00:31]
His head felt heavy which made him shake[00:00:33]
Fell from a ladder and he broke his skull[00:00:36]
They carried him home his corpse to wake[00:00:38]
Rolled him up in a nice clean sheet[00:00:40]
And laid him out upon the bed[00:00:43]
A gallon of whiskey at his feet[00:00:45]
And a bottle of porter at his head[00:00:46]
Whack fol de dah[00:00:49]
Now dance to your partner[00:00:50]
Welt the floor your trotters shake[00:00:52]
Wasn't it the truth they told ye lots of fun[00:00:54]
At Finnegan's wake[00:00:57]
His friends assembled at the wake[00:00:58]
And misses Finnegan called for lunch[00:01:01]
First she brought in tea and cake[00:01:03]
Then pipes tobacco and whiskey punch[00:01:05]
Biddy O'Brien began to cry[00:01:07]
Such a nice clean corpse did you ever see [00:01:10]
Tim me boy yadda hoy dida ho yada[00:01:12]
Arrah hold your gobâ said Patty Megee[00:01:14]
Whack fol de dah[00:01:17]
Now dance to your partner[00:01:18]
Welt the floor your trotters shake[00:01:19]
Wasn't it the truth they told ye lots of fun[00:01:21]
At Finnegan's wake[00:01:24]
Then O'Connor took up the job[00:01:26]
"Arrah" biddy says she ye're wrong I'm sure[00:01:28]
Biddy then gave her a belt on the gob[00:01:30]
And left her sprawling on the floor[00:01:32]
There the war did soon engage[00:01:34]
Woman to woman and man to man[00:01:37]
Shillelah law was all the rage[00:01:39]
An a row and a ruction soon began[00:01:41]
Whack fol de dah[00:01:44]
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[00:01:53]
When a bottle of whiskey flew at him[00:01:55]
It missed him falling on the bed[00:01:57]
The liquor scattered over Tim[00:01:59]
Tim revives see how he rises[00:02:01]
Timothy rising from the bed[00:02:04]
Then Whirl your whiskey around[00:02:05]
Like blazes Thanum o'n Dhoul[00:02:07]
Do ye think I'm dead [00:02:08]
Whack fol de dah[00:02:10]
Now dance to your partner[00:02:11]
Welt the floor your trotters shake[00:02:12]
Wasn't it the truth they told ye lots of fun[00:02:15]
At Finnegan's wake[00:02:17]
