lirik lagu live - the dubliners - finnegan's wake
[verse 1]
ah, tim finnegan lived in walkin street
a gentleman irish, mighty odd
well, he had a brogue, both rich and sweet
and to rise in the world he carried a hod
ah, but tim had a bit of a tibbiler’s way
with a love of the liquor he was born
and to send him on his way each day
he’d a drop of the craythur every morn!
[chorus]
whack~fol~de~darn, will you dance to your partner?
around the floor, well your trotters shake
isn’t it the truth i told you?
lots of fun at finnegan’s wake!
[verse 2]
ah, one morning tim was rather full
his head felt heavy, which made him shake
he fell off the ladder and hе broke his skull
then they carriеd him home, his corpse, to wake
well, they wrapped him up in a nice clean sheet
and they laid him out upon the bed
with a bottle o’ whiskey at his feet
and a barrel of porter at his head!
[chorus]
whack~fol~de~darn, will you dance to your partner?
around the floor, well your trotters shake
isn’t it the truth i told you
lots of fun at finnegan’s wake!
[verse 3]
well, his friends assembled at his wake
and mrs. finnegan called for lunch
well, first she brought them tay and cake
then pipes, tobacco and brandy punch
then the widow, malone began to cry
“such a lovely corpse, did you ever see?
ah, well, sure, tim mavourneen why did you die!?”
“will you hold your gob?” says molly mcgee
[chorus]
whack~fol~de~darn, will you dance to your partner?
around the floor, well your trotters shake
isn’t it the truth i told you
lots of fun at finnegan’s wake!
[verse 4]
ah, well mary murphy took up the job
“ah, biddy” says she, “you’re wrong, i’m sure”
ah, well biddy fetched her a belt in the gob
and left her sprawlin’ on the floor
well, civil war did then engage
women to women and man to man
shillelagh law was all the rage
and a row and a ruction soon began
[chorus]
whack~fol~de~darn, will you dance to your partner?
around the floor, well your trotters shake
isn’t it the truth i told you
lots of fun at finnegan’s wake!
[verse 5]
ah, well tim maloney ducked his head
when the bottle of whiskey flew at him
he ducked and landed on the bed
the whiskey scatters over tim
ah, be daddy revive~es, see how he rises
tim finnegan rising in the bed
sayin’ “twirl your whiskey around like blazes
be it [?] jaysus do you think i’m dead!?”
[chorus]
whack~fol~de~darn, will you dance to your partner?
around the floor, well your trotters shake
isn’t it the truth i told you
lots of fun at finnegan’s wake!
