Tim Finnegan lived in Walkin' Street \\
|
||||
A gentleman Irish, mighty odd; \\
|
||||
He had a brogue both rich and sweet \\
|
||||
And to rise in the world he carried a hod. \\
|
||||
Now Tim had a sort of the tipplin' way \\
|
||||
With a love for the liquor he was born \\
|
||||
And to help on with is work each day \\
|
||||
He'd a "drop of the cray-thur" every morn. \\
|
||||
|
||||
\textit{[Chorus] \\
|
||||
Whack fol the dah O, dance to your partner \\
|
||||
Whirl the floor, your trotters shake; \\
|
||||
Wasn't it the truth I told you \\
|
||||
Lots of fun at Finnegan's wake! \\}
|
||||
|
||||
One mornin' Tim was feelin' foul \\
|
||||
His head was heavy and it made him shake; \\
|
||||
He fell from a ladder and he broke his skull \\
|
||||
And they carried him home his corpse to wake. \\
|
||||
They rolled him up in a nice clean sheet \\
|
||||
And laid him out upon the bed, \\
|
||||
A gallon of whiskey at his feet \\
|
||||
and a barrel of porter at his head. \\
|
||||
|
||||
\textit{[Chorus] \\}
|
||||
|
||||
His friends assembled at the wake \\
|
||||
And Mrs. Finnegan called for lunch, \\
|
||||
First they brought in tea and cake \\
|
||||
Then pipes, tobacco and brandy punch. \\
|
||||
Biddy O'Brien began to bawl \\
|
||||
"Such a nice clean corpse did you ever see? \\
|
||||
O Tim, mavourneed, why did you die?" \\
|
||||
"Hold your gob," said Paddy McGee! \\
|
||||
|
||||
\textit{[Chorus] \\}
|
||||
|
||||
Then Maggie O'Connor took up the job \\
|
||||
"O Biddy," says she, "You're wrong I'm sure" \\
|
||||
Biddy she gave her a belt in the gob \\
|
||||
And left her sprawlin on the floor. \\
|
||||
And then the war did soon engage \\
|
||||
It was woman to woman and man to man \\
|
||||
Shillelagh law was all the rage \\
|
||||
And a row and a ruccus soon began. \\
|
||||
|
||||
\textit{[Chorus] \\}
|
||||
|
||||
Then Mickey Maloney ducked his head \\
|
||||
When a noggin of whiskey flew at him \\
|
||||
It missed, and falling on the bed \\
|
||||
The liquor squattered over Tim! \\
|
||||
The corpse revives! See how he rises! \\
|
||||
Tim Finnegan rising from the bed, \\
|
||||
Says, "Whirl your whiskey round like blazes \\
|
||||
D'ainm an diabhal!* Do you think I'm dead?" \\
|
||||
|
||||
*"Your soul to the devil! (spoken: Thanum an Dhul)"
