Tim Finnegan lived in Walkin Street, a gentle Irishman mighty odd
F F Dm Dm A# A# C C F F
He had a brogue both rich and sweet, an' to rise in the world he carried a hod
F F Dm Dm F F Dm Dm
You see he'd a sort of a tipplers way with the love for liquor he was born
F F Dm Dm A# A# C C F F
To help him on his way each day, he'd a drop of the craychur every morn


F F Dm Dm A# A# C C
Whack fol the dah now dance to yer partner 'round the floor yer trotters shake
F F Dm Dm A# A# C C F F
Wasn't it the truth I told you? Lots of fun at Finnegan's Wake


F F Dm Dm A# A# C C
One morning Tim got rather full, his head felt heavy which made him shake
F F Dm Dm A# A# C C F F
Fell from a ladder and broke his skull, and they carried him home his corpse to wake
F F Dm Dm F F Dm Dm
Rolled him up in a nice clean sheet, and laid him out upon the bed
F F Dm Dm A# A# C C F F
A A bottle of whiskey at his feet and a barrel of porter at his head


F F Dm Dm A# A# C C
Whack fol the dah now dance to yer partner 'round the floor yer trotters shake
F F Dm Dm A# A# C C F F
Wasn't it the truth I told you? Lots of fun at Finnegan's Wake


F F Dm Dm A# A# C C
His friends assembled at the wake, and Mrs Finnegan called for lunch
F F Dm Dm A# A# C C F F
First she brought in tea and cake, then pipes, tobacco and whiskey punch
Dm Dm F F Dm Dm
Biddy O'Brien began to cry, "Such a nice clean corpse, did you ever see,
F F Dm Dm A# A# C C F F
Tim avourneen, why did you die?", "Arragh, shut your gob" said Paddy McGee


F F Dm Dm A# A# C C
Whack fol the dah now dance to yer partner 'round the floor yer trotters shake
F F Dm Dm A# A# C C F F
Wasn't it the truth I told you? Lots of fun at Finnegan's Wake


F F Dm Dm A# A# C C
Patty O'Connor took up the job, "Biddy" says she "you're wrong, I'm sure"
F F Dm Dm A# A# C C F F
Biddy gave her a belt in the gob, then left her sprawlin' on the floor
F F Dm Dm F F Dm Dm
Then the war did soon enrage, t'was woman to woman and man to man
F F Dm Dm A# A# C C F F
Shillelagh law was all the rage and a row and a ruction soon began


F F Dm Dm A# A# C C
Whack fol the dah now dance to yer partner 'round the floor yer trotters shake
F F Dm Dm A# A# C C F F
Wasn't it the truth I told you? Lots of fun at Finnegan's Wake


F F Dm Dm A# A# C C
Mickey Maloney lowered his head and a bottle of whiskey flew at him
F F Dm Dm A# A# C C F F
It missed, and falling on the bed, the liquor scattered over Tim
F F Dm Dm F F Dm Dm
Tim revives, see how he rises, Timothy rising from the bed
F F Dm Dm A# A# C C F F
Saying "Whirl your liquor around like blazes, thunderin' jaysus, do ye 'ink I'm dead?"


F F Dm Dm A# A# C C
Whack fol the dah now dance to yer partner 'round the floor yer trotters shake
F F Dm Dm A# A# C C F F
Wasn't it the truth I told you? Lots of fun at Finnegan's Wake
F F Dm Dm A# A# C C
Whack fol the dah now dance to yer partner 'round the floor yer trotters shake

Wasn't it the truth I told you? Lots of fun at Finnegan's Wake
