[00:00:00] Finnegan's Wake - The Clancy Brothers

[00:00:45] Tim Finnegan lived in Walkin Street,

[00:00:49] A gentle Irishman mighty odd

[00:00:51] He had a brogue both rich and sweet,

[00:00:53] An' to rise in the world he carried a hod

[00:00:55] You see he'd a sort of a tipplers way

[00:00:57] But the love for the liquor poor Tim was born

[00:00:59] To help him on his way each day,

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

[00:01:03] Whack fol the dah now dance to yer partner

[00:01:11] One morning Tim got rather full,

[00:01:14] His head felt heavy which made him shake

[00:01:18] He fell from a ladder and he broke his skull,

[00:01:21] And they carried him home his corpse to wake

[00:01:25] Rolled him up in a nice clean sheet,

[00:01:28] And laid him out upon the bed

[00:01:31] A bottle of whiskey at his feet

[00:01:34] And a barrel of porter at his head

[00:01:36] Whack fol the dah now dance to yer partner a

[00:01:40] Wasn't it the truth I told you?

[00:01:45] His friends assembled at the wake,

[00:01:47] And Mrs Finnegan called for lunch

[00:01:49] First she brought in tay and cake,

[00:01:52] Then pipes, tobacco and whiskey punch

[00:01:55] Biddy O'Brien began to cry,

[00:01:58] "Such a nice clean corpse, did you ever see,

[00:02:01] Tim avourneen, why did you die?",

[00:02:04] "Will ye hould your gob?" said Paddy McGee

[00:02:15] Then Maggie O'Connor took up the job,

[00:02:17] "Biddy" says she "you're wrong, I'm sure"

[00:02:19] Biddy gave her a belt in the gob

[00:02:22] And left her sprawling on the floor

[00:02:25] Then the war did soon engage,

[00:02:28] Woman to woman and man to man

[00:02:30] Shillelagh law was all the rage

[00:02:33] And a row and a ruction soon began

[00:02:43] Mickey Maloney rise his head when a bucket of whiskey flew at him

[00:02:49] It missed, and falling on the bed,

[00:02:52] The liquor scattered over Tim

[00:02:56] He got her revives, see how he rises,

[00:02:59] Timothy rising from the bed

[00:03:02] Saying "Whittle your whiskey around like blazes,
