[00:01.89]Tim Finnegan lived in Walkin Street, a gentle Irishman
[00:07.05]Mighty odd
[00:08.55]He had a brogue both rich and sweet, an' to rise in the
[00:11.49]World he carried a hod
[00:12.99]You see he'd a sort of a tipplers way but the love for
[00:18.54]The liquor poor Tim was born
[00:20.43]To help him on his way each day, he'd a drop of the
[00:23.88]Craythur every morn
[00:25.74]Whack fol the dah now dance to yer partner around the
[00:28.92]Flure yer trotters shake
[00:30.93]Wasn't it the truth I told you? Lots of fun at
[00:34.74]Finnegan's Wake
[00:37.65]One morning Tim got rather full, his head felt heavy
[00:41.73]Which made him shake
[00:43.14]Fell from a ladder and he broke his skull, and they
[00:45.69]Carried him home his corpse to wake
[00:48.24]Rolled him up in a nice clean sheet, and laid him out
[00:51.87]Upon the bed
[00:53.37]A bottle of whiskey at his feet and a barrel of porter
[00:57.33]At his head
[00:58.32]Whack fol the dah now dance to yer partner around the
[01:01.47]Flure yer trotters shake
[01:03.21]Wasn't it the truth I told you? Lots of fun at
[01:07.14]Finnegan's Wake
[01:10.86]His friends assembled at the wake, and Mrs Finnegan
[01:13.47]Called for lunch
[01:15.30]First she brought in tay and cake, then pipes, tobacco
[01:19.08]And whiskey punch
[01:20.46]Biddy O'Brien began to cry, "Such a nice clean corpse
[01:24.03]Did you ever see
[01:25.56]Tim avourneen, why did you die?", "Will ye hould your

[01:41.76]Then Maggie O'Connor took up the job, "Biddy" says she
[01:45.42]"you're wrong, I'm sure"
[01:47.13]Biddy gave her a belt in the gob and left her sprawling
[01:50.70]On the floor
[01:52.29]Then the war did soon engage, t'was woman to woman and
[01:55.68]Man to man

[02:13.50]Mickey Maloney ducked his head when a bucket of whiskey
[02:17.04]Flew at him
[02:18.30]It missed, and falling on the bed, the liquor scattered
[02:22.38]Over Tim
[02:25.44]Bedad he revives, see how he rises, Timothy rising from
[02:29.49]The bed
[02:30.06]Saying "Whittle your whiskey around like blazes
