《Finnegan’s Wake》歌词

[00:00:00] Tim Finnegan lived in Watling Street

[00:00:21] A gentle Irishman mighty odd

[00:00:32] He'd a beautiful brogue both rich and sweet

[00:00:37] And to rise in the world he carried a hod

[00:00:45] But Tim he'd sort of a tipplin way：

[00:00:50] With love for the liquor he was born

[00:00:56] And to help him on with his work each day

[00:01:14] He'd a drop of the craythur every morn'

[00:01:22] Whack fol de dah

[00:01:26] Will ye dance to your partner

[00:01:29] Welt the floor

[00:01:31] Your trotters shake

[00:01:32] Wasn't it the truth

[00:01:36] I told ye lots of fun at Finnegan's wake

[00:01:40] One morning Tim got rather full

[00:01:42] His head felt heavy

[00:01:43] Which made him shake

[00:01:44] He fell from a ladder and he broke his skull

[00:01:46] And they carried him home

[00:01:47] His corpse to wake

[00:01:48] They rolled him up in a nice clean sheet

[00:01:50] And laid him out upon the bed

[00:01:52] With a bucket of whiskey at his feet

[00:01:55] And a bottle of porter at his head

[00:02:03] His friends assembled at the wake

[00:02:05] And Mrs Finnegan called for lunch

[00:02:08] First she brought in tea and cake

[00:02:09] Then pipes tobacco and whiskey punch

[00:02:12] Biddy O'Brien began to cry

[00:02:13] Such a nice clean corpse did you ever see

[00:02:18] Ah Tim mavourneen why did ye die

[00:02:21] Arrah hold your gob

[00:02:23] Said Patty Magee

[00:02:27] Then Maggie O'connor took up the job

[00:02:29] Arrah Biddy says she ye're wrong I'm sure

[00:02:32] Biddy gave her a belt in the gob

[00:02:33] And she left her sprawling on the floor

[00:02:35] Then civil war did soon engage

[00:02:37] Twas woman to woman and man to man

[00:02:40] Shillelah law was all the rage

[00:02:43] An a row and a ruction soon began

[00:02:51] Then Mickey Maloney raised his head

[00:02:53] When a bottle of whiskey flew at him

[00:02:55] It missed him falling on the bed

[00:02:57] The liquor scattered over Tim

[00:03:00] Be gob he revives

[00:03:01] See how he rises

[00:03:03] Finnegan rising from the bed

[00:03:06] Says Whirl your whiskey 'round like blazes Thanum o'n Dhoul

[00:03:09] Do ye think I'm dead
