《Finnegan’s Wake》歌词

[00:00:00] Finnegan's Wake - Clancy Brothers

[00:00:02] Tim Finnegan lived in watling street

[00:00:05] A gentle Irishman mighty odd

[00:00:07] He'd a beautiful brogue so rich and sweet

[00:00:10] To rise in the world he carried a hod

[00:00:12] See he'd sort of a tipplin' way

[00:00:14] With love for the liquor poor Tim was born

[00:00:17] To help him a man with his work each day

[00:00:19] He'd a drop of the craythin' every morn'

[00:00:21] Whack fol de dah

[00:00:22] Now dance to your partner

[00:00:23] Welt the floor your trotters shake

[00:00:26] Wasn't it the truth they told ye lots of fun

[00:00:29] At Finnegan's wake

[00:00:30] One morning Tim got rather full

[00:00:32] His head felt heavy which made him shake

[00:00:35] Fell from a ladder and he broke his skull

[00:00:37] They carried him home his corpse to wake

[00:00:39] Rolled him up in a nice clean sheet

[00:00:42] And laid him out upon the bed

[00:00:44] A gallon of whiskey at his feet

[00:00:46] And a bottle of porter at his head

[00:00:48] Whack fol de dah

[00:00:50] Now dance to your partner

[00:00:51] Welt the floor your trotters shake

[00:00:53] Wasn't it the truth they told ye lots of fun

[00:00:56] At Finnegan's wake

[00:00:57] His friends assembled at the wake

[00:01:00] And misses Finnegan called for lunch

[00:01:02] First she brought in tea and cake

[00:01:04] Then pipes tobacco and whiskey punch

[00:01:07] Biddy O'Brien began to cry

[00:01:09] Such a nice clean corpse did you ever see

[00:01:11] Tim me boy yadda hoy dida ho yada

[00:01:18] Welt the floor your trotters shake

[00:01:20] Wasn't it the truth they told ye lots of fun

[00:01:23] At Finnegan's wake

[00:01:25] Then O'Connor took up the job

[00:01:27] "Arrah" biddy says she ye're wrong I'm sure

[00:01:29] Biddy then gave her a belt on the gob

[00:01:31] And left her sprawling on the floor

[00:01:34] There the war did soon engage

[00:01:36] Woman to woman and man to man

[00:01:38] Shillelah law was all the rage

[00:01:40] An a row and a ruction soon began

[00:01:43] Whack fol de dah

[00:01:44] Now dance to your partner

[00:01:45] Welt the floor your trotters shake

[00:01:47] Wasn't it the truth they told ye lots of fun

[00:01:50] At Finnegan's wake

[00:01:52] Then Mickey Maloney raised his head

[00:01:54] When a bottle of whiskey flew at him

[00:01:56] It missed him falling on the bed

[00:01:58] The liquor scattered over Tim

[00:02:00] Tim revives see how he rises

[00:02:03] Timothy rising from the bed

[00:02:04] Then Whirl your whiskey around

[00:02:06] Like blazes Thanum o'n Dhoul

[00:02:07] Do ye think I'm dead

[00:02:09] Whack fol de dah

[00:02:10] Now dance to your partner

[00:02:12] Welt the floor your trotters shake
