[00:00:09] To rise in the world he carried a hod

[00:00:11] See he'd sort of a tipplin' way

[00:00:14] With love for the liquor poor tim was born

[00:00:16] To help him on with his work each day

[00:00:29] One morning tim got rather full

[00:00:31] His head felt heavy which made him shake

[00:00:35] They carried him home his corpse to wake

[00:00:37] Rolled him up in a nice clean sheet

[00:00:40] And laid him out upon the bed

[00:00:42] A gallon of whiskey at his feet

[00:00:44] And a bottle of porter at his head

[00:00:46] Whack fol de dah

[00:00:48] Now dance to your partner

[00:00:49] Welt the floor your trotters shake

[00:00:51] Wasn't it the truth they told ye lots of fun

[00:00:54] At finnegan's wake

[00:00:55] His friends assembled at the wake

[00:00:57] And misses finnegan called for lunch

[00:00:59] First she brought in tea and cake

[00:01:02] Then pipes tobacco and whiskey punch

[00:01:04] Biddy o'brien began to cry

[00:01:25] Biddy then gave her a belt on the gob

[00:01:28] And left her sprawling on the floor
