[00:04.41]Tim Finnegan lived on Walker Street
[00:06.51]A gentle Irish, mighty odd
[00:08.67]He had a brogue both rich and sweet
[00:10.69]And to rise in the world he carried a hod
[00:12.79]Now Tim had a sort of the tipplin' way
[00:14.86]With a love of the whiskey he was born
[00:16.97]And to help him on with his work each day
[00:19.08]He'd a "drop of the cray-thur" every morn'
[00:21.46]Whack fol the darn O, dance to your partner
[00:23.45]Whirl the floor, your trotters shake
[00:25.61]Wasn't it the truth I told you
[00:27.73]Lots of fun at Finnegan's wake!
[00:29.85]2。 One mornin' Tim was feelin' full
[00:31.97]His head was heavy which made him shake
[00:34.11]He fell from the ladder and broke his skull
[00:36.19]And they carried him home his corpse to wake
[00:38.29]They rolled him up in a nice clean sheet
[00:40.61]And laid him out upon the bed,
[00:42.39]With a gallon of whiskey at his feet
[00:44.53]And a barrel of porter at his head
[00:46.73]Whack fol the darn O, dance to your partner
[00:48.83]Whirl the floor, your trotters shake
[00:50.91]Wasn't it the truth I told you
[00:53.21]Lots of fun at Finnegan's wake!
[00:55.28]3. His friends assembled at the wake
[00:57.35]And Mrs. Finnegan called for lunch,
[00:59.60]First they brought in tea and cake
[01:01.67]Then pipes, tobacco and whiskey punch
[01:03.85]Biddy O'Brien began to bawl
[01:06.02]"Such a nice clean corpse, did you ever see?
[01:08.18]"Aye Tim, mavourneen, why did you die?"
[01:10.17]"Arragh, hold your gob" said Paddy McGee!
[01:12.42]Whack fol the darn O, dance to your partner
[01:14.52]Whirl the floor, your trotters shake
[01:16.65]Wasn't it the truth I told you
[01:18.81]Lots of fun at Finnegan's wake!
[01:20.75]4. Then Maggie O'Connor took up the job
[01:22.96]"O Biddy," says she, "You're wrong, I'm sure"
[01:25.29]Biddy she gave her a belt in the gob
[01:27.19]And left her sprawlin' on the floor.
[01:29.44]And then the war did soon engage
[01:31.65]'Twas woman to woman and man to man,
[01:33.73]Shillelagh law was all the rage
[01:36.07]And a row and eruption soon began
[01:38.45]Whack fol the darn O, dance to your partner
[01:40.59]Whirl the floor, your trotters shake
[01:42.75]Wasn't it the truth I told you
[01:44.93]Lots of fun at Finnegan's wake!
[01:46.98]Then Mickey Maloney ducked his head
[01:49.09]When a noggin of whiskey flew at him,
[01:51.16]It missed, and fallin' on the bed
[01:53.24]The liquor scattered over Tim!
[01:56.59]The corpse revives! See how he raises!
[02:00.07]Timothy rising from the bed,
[02:03.59]Says,"Whirl your whiskey around like blazes
[02:05.83]Thanum an Dhul! Did you think I'm dead?"
[02:08.04]Whack fol the darn O, dance to your partner
[02:10.29]Whirl the floor, your trotters shake
[02:12.27]Wasn't it the truth I told you
[02:14.44]Lots of fun at Finnegan's wake!
[02:16.73]Whack fol the darn O, dance to your partner
[02:18.70]Whirl the floor, your trotters shake
[02:20.93]Wasn't it the truth I told you
[02:23.10]Lots of fun at Finnegan's wake!
