Testi

Tim Finnegan lived in Watlin Street
An Irishman and mighty odd
He'd a beautiful brogue so rich and sweet
And a rise in the world he carried a hod
You see he'd sort of a tippling way
With a love for the liquor poor Tim was born
And a helping man with his work each day
He'd a drop of the crater every morn
Whack fol the dan o, dance to your partner
Well the floor your 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 which made him shake
He fell off the ladder and he broke his skull
And they carried him off his corpse to wake
They rolled him up in a nice clean sheet
And they laid him out upon the bed
With a gallon of whiskey at his feet
And a barrel of porter at his head
Whack fol the dan o, dance to your partner
Well the floor your trotters shake
Wasn't it the truth I told you
Lots of fun at Finnegan's wake
His friends assembled for the wake
When Mrs. Finnegan called for lunch
First they brought in tea and cake
Then pipes, tobacco and whiskey punch
Then old Biddy O'Brien began to cry
Such a nice clean corpse did you ever see
Ah Tim my mourning why did you die
Would you have your job says Paddy McGee
Whack fol the dan o, dance to your partner
Well the floor your trotters shake
Wasn't it the truth I told you
Lots of fun at Finnegan's wake
Then Maggie O'Connor took up the job
Oh Biddy says she you're wrong I'm sure
Old Biddy hit her a belt in the gob
And sent her sprawling on the floor
Well then the war did soon engage
Twas woman to woman and man to man
Shillelagh law was all the rage
And a row and eruption soon began
Whack fol the dan o, dance to your partner
Well the floor your trotters shake
Wasn't it the truth I told you
Lots of fun at Finnegan's wake
Then Mickey Maloney raised his head
When a noggin of whiskey flew at him
It missed and landed on the bed
The liquor scattered over Tim
Timry boys see how he rises
Timothy rising from the bed
Says where your whiskey round like blazes
Fan him and dial do you think I'm dead
Whack fol the dan o, dance to your partner
Well the floor your trotters shake
Wasn't it the truth I told you
Lots of fun at Finnegan's wake
Whack fol the dan o, dance to your partner
Well the floor your trotters shake
Wasn't it the truth I told you
Lots of fun at Finnegan's wake
