Lyrics Finnegan's Wake - Christy Moore
Tim
Finnegan
lived
in
Walkin
Street
A
gentleman
Irish
mighty
odd
He
had
a
beautiful
brogue
both
rich
and
sweet
And
to
rise
in
the
world
he
carried
a
hod
But
you
see
he'd
a
kind
of
a
tippling
way
With
a
love
for
the
liquor
Tim
was
born
To
help
him
at
his
work
each
day
He'd
a
drop
of
the
craythur
every
morn
Whack
fol
the
dah
now
swing
to
yer
partners
Dance
the
flure
yer
trotters
shake
Wasn't
it
the
truth
I
told
you?
Lots
of
fun
at
Finnegan's
Wake
One
morning
Tim
was
rather
full
His
head
felt
heavy
and
it
made
him
shake
He
fell
from
a
ladder
and
he
broke
his
skull
So
they
took
him
home
his
corpse
to
wake
They
wrapped
him
up
in
a
nice
clean
sheet
And
they
laid
him
out
upon
the
bed
With
a
barrel
of
porter
at
his
feet
And
a
gallon
of
whiskey
at
his
head
Whack
fol
the
dah
now
swing
to
yer
partners
Welt
the
flure
yer
trotters
shake
Wasn't
it
the
truth
I
told
you?
Lots
of
fun
at
Finnegan's
Wake
With
all
his
friends
there
at
the
wake
Mrs
Finnegan
called
out
for
the
lunch
First
they
laid
in
tea
and
cake
Then
pipes
and
tobacco
and
whiskey
punch
Biddy
O'Brien
began
to
cry
"Such
a
pretty
corpse
did
you
ever
see"
"Tim
my
love,
why
did
you
die?"
"Will
ye
shut
your
mouth?"
said
Judy
McGee
Whack
fol
the
dah
now
swing
to
yer
partners
Welt
the
flure
yer
trotters
shake
Wasn't
it
the
truth
I
told
you?
Lots
of
fun
at
Finnegan's
Wake
Then
Peggy
Jordan
took
up
the
job
" Era
Biddy"
says
she,
"you're
wrong,
I'm
sure"
Biddy
gave
her
a
belt
in
the
gob
That
left
her
sprawling
on
the
floor
Each
side
in
war
did
then
engage
T'was
woman
to
woman
and
man
to
man
Shillelagh
law
was
all
the
rage
And
a
row
and
a
ruction
soon
began
Whack
fol
the
dah
now
swing
to
yer
partners
Welt
the
flure

trotters
shake
Wasn't
it
the
truth
I
told
you?
Lots
of
fun
at
Finnegan's
Wake
Well
Mickey
Mulvaney
ducked
his
head
When
a
bottle
of
whiskey
flew
at
him
It
missed
him
and
scattering
on
the
bed
The
whiskey
spilt
all
over
Tim
Begod
he
revives,
see
how
he
rises
Timothy
leapin'
up
out
from
the
bed
Cried
"Whirl
ye
liquor
around
like
blazes
T'underin'
Jaysus,
do
ye
think
I'm
dead?"
Whack
