Lyrics Tim Finnegan's Wake - The Clancy Brothers
Tim
Finnegan
lived
in
watling
street
A
gentle
Irishman,
mighty
odd
He'd
a
beautiful
brogue
so
rich
and
sweet
To
rise
in
the
world,
he
carried
a
hod
See,
he'd
sort
of
a
tipplin'
way
With
love
for
the
liquor
poor
Tim
was
born
To
help
him
on
with
his
work
each
day
He'd
a
drop
of
the
craythur
every
morn'
Whack
fol,
de,
dah
Now,
dance
to
your
partner
Welt
the
floor,
your
trotters
shake
Wasn't
it
the
truth,
they
told
ye
lots
of
fun
At
Finnegan's
wake
One
morning
Tim
got
rather
full
His
head
felt
heavy
which
made
him
shake
Fell
from
a
ladder
and
he
broke
his
skull
They
carried
him
home,
his
corpse
to
wake
Rolled
him
up
in
a
nice
clean
sheet
And
laid
him
out
upon
the
bed
A
gallon
of
whiskey
at
his
feet
And
a
bottle
of
porter
at
his
head
Whack
fol,
de,
dah
Now,
dance
to
your
partner
Welt
the
floor,
your
trotters
shake
Wasn't
it
the
truth,
they
told
ye
lots
of
fun
At
Finnegan's
wake
His
friends
assembled
at
the
wake
And
misses
Finnegan
called
for
lunch
First
she
brought
in
tea
and
cake
Then
pipes,
tobacco
and
whiskey
punch
Biddy
O'Brien
began
to
cry
Such
a
nice
clean
corpse,
did
you
ever
see?
Tim
mavourneen,
why
did
you
die?
Arrah,
hold
your
gob,
said
Patty
Megee
Whack
fol,
de,
dah
Now,
dance
to
your
partner
Welt
the
floor,
your
trotters
shake
Wasn't
it
the
truth,
they
told
ye
lots
of
fun
At
Finnegan's
wake
Then
Maggie
O'Connor
took
up
the
job
"Arrah",
biddy
says,
she
ye're
wrong,
I'm
sure
Biddy
then
gave
her
a
belt
on
the
gob
And
left
her
sprawling
on
the
floor
There
the
war
did
soon
engage
Woman
to
woman
and
man
to
man
Shillelah
law
was
all
the
rage
An
a
row
and
a
ruction
soon
began
Whack
fol,
de,
dah
Now,
dance
to
your
partner
Welt
the
floor,
your
trotters
shake
Wasn't
it
the
truth,
they
told
ye
lots
of
fun
At
Finnegan's
wake
Then
Mickey
Maloney
raised
his
head
When
a
bottle
of
whiskey
flew
at
him
It
missed
him
falling
on
the
bed
The
liquor
scattered
over
Tim
Tim
revives,
see
how
he
rises
Timothy
rising
from
the
bed
Then
Whirl
your
whiskey
around
Like
blazes
Thanum
an
Dhul
Do
ye
think
I'm
dead?
