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

Tim Finnegan lived in Walkin Street,[00:00:45]

A gentle Irishman mighty odd[00:00:49]

He had a brogue both rich and sweet,[00:00:51]

An' to rise in the world he carried a hod[00:00:53]

You see he'd a sort of a tipplers way[00:00:55]

But the love for the liquor poor Tim was born[00:00:57]

To help him on his way each day,[00:00:59]

He'd a drop of the craythur every morn[00:01:01]

Whack fol the dah now dance to yer partner[00:01:03]

Around the flure yer trotters shake[00:01:05]

Wasn't it the truth I told you?[00:01:06]

Lots of fun at Finnegan's Wake[00:01:08]

One morning Tim got rather full,[00:01:11]

His head felt heavy which made him shake[00:01:14]

He fell from a ladder and he broke his skull,[00:01:18]

And they carried him home his corpse to wake[00:01:21]

Rolled him up in a nice clean sheet,[00:01:25]

And laid him out upon the bed[00:01:28]

A bottle of whiskey at his feet[00:01:31]

And a barrel of porter at his head[00:01:34]

Whack fol the dah now dance to yer partner a[00:01:36]

Round the flure yer trotters shake[00:01:38]

Wasn't it the truth I told you?[00:01:40]

Lots of fun at Finnegan's Wake[00:01:42]

His friends assembled at the wake,[00:01:45]

And Mrs Finnegan called for lunch[00:01:47]

First she brought in tay and cake,[00:01:49]

Then pipes, tobacco and whiskey punch[00:01:52]

Biddy O'Brien began to cry,[00:01:55]

"Such a nice clean corpse, did you ever see,[00:01:58]

Tim avourneen, why did you die?",[00:02:01]

"Will ye hould your gob?" said Paddy McGee[00:02:04]

Whack fol the dah now dance to yer partner[00:02:06]

Around the flure yer trotters shake[00:02:08]

Wasn't it the truth I told you?[00:02:10]

Lots of fun at Finnegan's Wake[00:02:12]

Then Maggie O'Connor took up the job,[00:02:15]

"Biddy" says she "you're wrong, I'm sure"[00:02:17]

Biddy gave her a belt in the gob[00:02:19]

And left her sprawling on the floor[00:02:22]

Then the war did soon engage,[00:02:25]

Woman to woman and man to man[00:02:28]

Shillelagh law was all the rage[00:02:30]

And a row and a ruction soon began[00:02:33]

Whack fol the dah now dance to yer partner[00:02:35]

Around the flure yer trotters shake[00:02:37]

Wasn't it the truth I told you?[00:02:39]

Lots of fun at Finnegan's Wake[00:02:41]

Mickey Maloney rise his head when a bucket of whiskey flew at him[00:02:43]

It missed, and falling on the bed,[00:02:49]

The liquor scattered over Tim[00:02:52]

He got her revives, see how he rises,[00:02:56]

Timothy rising from the bed[00:02:59]

Saying "Whittle your whiskey around like blazes,[00:03:02]

It underin' Jaysus, do ye think I'm dead?"[00:03:04]

Whack fol the dah now dance to yer partner[00:03:07]

Around the flure yer trotters shake[00:03:09]

Wasn't it the truth I told you?[00:03:11]

Lots of fun at Finnegan's Wake[00:03:13]

Whack fol the dah now dance to yer partner[00:03:15]

Around the flure yer trotters shake[00:03:17]

Wasn't it the truth I told you?[00:03:19]

Lots of fun at Finnegan's Wake[00:03:21]
