| [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 |
