[00:04.41]Tim Finnegan lived on Walker Street [00:06.51]A gentle Irish, mighty odd [00:08.67]He had a brogue both rich and sweet [00:10.69]And to rise in the world he carried a hod [00:12.79]Now Tim had a sort of the tipplin' way [00:14.86]With a love of the whiskey he was born [00:16.97]And to help him on with his work each day [00:19.08]He'd a "drop of the cray-thur" every morn' [00:21.46]Whack fol the darn O, dance to your partner [00:23.45]Whirl the floor, your trotters shake [00:25.61]Wasn't it the truth I told you [00:27.73]Lots of fun at Finnegan's wake! [00:29.85]2。 One mornin' Tim was feelin' full [00:31.97]His head was heavy which made him shake [00:34.11]He fell from the ladder and broke his skull [00:36.19]And they carried him home his corpse to wake [00:38.29]They rolled him up in a nice clean sheet [00:40.61]And laid him out upon the bed, [00:42.39]With a gallon of whiskey at his feet [00:44.53]And a barrel of porter at his head [00:46.73]Whack fol the darn O, dance to your partner [00:48.83]Whirl the floor, your trotters shake [00:50.91]Wasn't it the truth I told you [00:53.21]Lots of fun at Finnegan's wake! [00:55.28]3. His friends assembled at the wake [00:57.35]And Mrs. Finnegan called for lunch, [00:59.60]First they brought in tea and cake [01:01.67]Then pipes, tobacco and whiskey punch [01:03.85]Biddy O'Brien began to bawl [01:06.02]"Such a nice clean corpse, did you ever see?

[01:46.98]Then Mickey Maloney ducked his head [01:49.09]When a noggin of whiskey flew at him, [01:51.16]It missed, and fallin' on the bed [01:53.24]The liquor scattered over Tim! [01:56.59]The corpse revives! See how he raises! [02:00.07]Timothy rising from the bed, [02:03.59]Says,"Whirl your whiskey around like blazes [02:05.83]Thanum an Dhul! Did you think I'm dead?"
