《Finnegan’s Wake》歌词

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

[00:00:03] Tim Finnegan lived in watling street

[00:00:06] A gentle Irishman mighty odd

[00:00:08] He'd a beautiful brogue so rich and sweet

[00:00:11] To rise in the world he carried a hod

[00:00:13] See he'd sort of a tipplin' way

[00:00:15] With love for the liquor poor Tim was born

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

[00:00:20] He'd a drop of the craythin' every morn'

[00:00:22] Whack fol de dah

[00:00:23] Now dance to your partner

[00:00:24] Welt the floor your trotters shake

[00:00:27] Wasn't it the truth they told ye lots of fun

[00:00:30] At Finnegan's wake

[00:00:31] One morning Tim got rather full

[00:00:33] His head felt heavy which made him shake

[00:00:36] Fell from a ladder and he broke his skull

[00:00:38] They carried him home his corpse to wake

[00:00:40] Rolled him up in a nice clean sheet

[00:00:43] And laid him out upon the bed

[00:00:45] A gallon of whiskey at his feet

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

[00:00:49] Whack fol de dah

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

[00:00:52] Welt the floor your trotters shake

[00:00:54] Wasn't it the truth they told ye lots of fun

[00:00:57] At Finnegan's wake

[00:00:58] His friends assembled at the wake

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

[00:01:03] First she brought in tea and cake

[00:01:05] Then pipes tobacco and whiskey punch

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

[00:01:10] Such a nice clean corpse did you ever see

[00:01:12] Tim me boy yadda hoy dida ho yada

[00:01:14] Arrah hold your gobâ said Patty Megee

[00:01:17] Whack fol de dah

[00:01:18] Now dance to your partner

[00:01:19] Welt the floor your trotters shake

[00:01:21] Wasn't it the truth they told ye lots of fun

[00:01:24] At Finnegan's wake

[00:01:26] Then O'Connor took up the job

[00:01:28] "Arrah" biddy says she ye're wrong I'm sure

[00:01:30] Biddy then gave her a belt on the gob

[00:01:32] And left her sprawling on the floor

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

[00:01:37] Woman to woman and man to man

[00:01:39] Shillelah law was all the rage

[00:01:41] An a row and a ruction soon began

[00:01:44] Whack fol de dah

[00:01:45] Now dance to your partner

[00:01:46] Welt the floor your trotters shake

[00:01:48] Wasn't it the truth they told ye lots of fun

[00:01:51] At Finnegan's wake

[00:01:53] Then Mickey Maloney raised his head

[00:01:55] When a bottle of whiskey flew at him

[00:01:57] It missed him falling on the bed

[00:01:59] The liquor scattered over Tim

[00:02:01] Tim revives see how he rises

[00:02:04] Timothy rising from the bed

[00:02:05] Then Whirl your whiskey around

[00:02:07] Like blazes Thanum o'n Dhoul

[00:02:08] Do ye think I'm dead

[00:02:10] Whack fol de dah

[00:02:11] Now dance to your partner

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