《Finnigan’s Wake》歌词

[00:00:00] Finnigan's Wake - The Clancy Brothers/Tommy Makem

[00:00:02] Tim Finnegan lived in Walking Street

[00:00:05] A gentle Irishman mighty odd

[00:00:07] He had a brogue both rich and sweet

[00:00:09] An' to rise in the world he carried a hod

[00:00:11] You see he'd a sort of a tipplers way

[00:00:14] But the love for the liquor poor

[00:00:15] Tim was born

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

[00:00:18] He'd a drop of the craythur every morn

[00:00:20] Whack fol the dah now dance to yer partner

[00:00:23] Around the flure yer trotters shake

[00:00:25] Wasn't it the truth I told you

[00:00:27] Lots of fun at Finnegan's Wake

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

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

[00:00:34] He fell from a ladder and

[00:00:35] He broke his skull

[00:00:36] And they carried him home

[00:00:37] His corpse to wake

[00:00:38] Rolled him up in a nice clean sheet

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

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

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

[00:00:47] Whack fol the dah now

[00:00:48] Dance to yer partner a

[00:00:49] Round the flure yer trotters shake

[00:00:51] Wasn't it the truth I told you

[00:00:53] Lots of fun at Finnegan's Wake

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

[00:00:57] And Mrs Finnegan called for lunch

[00:01:00] First she brought in tay and cake

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

[00:01:04] Biddy O'Brien began to cry

[00:01:06] Such a nice clean corpse

[00:01:07] Did you ever see

[00:01:08] Tim avourneen

[00:01:10] Why did you die

[00:01:15] Around the flure yer trotters shake

[00:01:17] Wasn't it the truth I told you

[00:01:21] Then Maggie O'Connor took up the job

[00:01:24] Biddy says she you're wrong I'm sure

[00:01:26] Biddy gave her a belt in the gob

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

[00:01:30] Then the war did soon engage

[00:01:32] Woman to woman and man to man

[00:01:34] Shillelagh law was all the rage

[00:01:37] And a row and a ruction soon began

[00:01:39] Whack fol the dah now dance to yer partner

[00:01:41] Around the flure yer trotters shake

[00:01:43] Wasn't it the truth I told you

[00:01:47] Mickey Maloney rise his head

[00:01:49] When a bucket of whiskey flew at him

[00:01:52] It missed and falling on the bed

[00:01:54] The liquor scattered over Tim

[00:01:56] He got her revives

[00:01:57] See how he rises

[00:01:58] Timothy rising from the bed
