C Am
Tim Finnegan lived in Watling Street
F G
a gental Irishman...mighty Odd
C Am F
He'd a beautiful brogue, so rich and sweet
G C
and to rise in the world he carried a Hod
Am F G
You see he'd a sort of a tippling way
C Am F
with the love for the liquor poor Tim was born
G C Am
And to help him on with his work each day
F G C
he'd a drop of the craythur every morn'.
Chorus
C Am
And Whack-fold-de-dah now dance to your partner

C Am
Wasn't it the truth I told ye?
F G C
Lots of fun a Finnegan's wake
C Am
One mornin Tim was rather full
F G
His head felt heavy, which made him shake,
C Am
He fell from the ladder and broke his skull
F G
so they carried him home his corpse to wake
C Am
They rolled him up in a nice clean sheet
F G
and laid him out upon the bed
C Am
With a gallon of whisky at his feet
F G C
and a bottle of porter at his head
C Am
And Whack-fold-de-dah now dance to your partner
F G
Welt the floor, till you trotter & shake
C Am
Wasn't it the truth I told ye?
F G C
Lots of fun a Finnegan's wake
C Am
His friends assembled at the wake;
F G
and missus Finnegan called for lunch
C Am
First they brought in tay and cake;
F G
then pipes, tobacco & whisky punch
C Am
Biddy O'Brian began to cry
F G

C Am

Then Maggie O'Connor took up the job Arrah!

C Am
But Biddy then gave her a belt on the gob
F G
and left her sprawlin on the flure
C Am
Then the war did soon engage,
F G
woman to woman & man to man
C Am
Shillelah-law was all the rage
F G C
An' a row an' a ruction soon began
C Am
And Whack-fold-de-dah now dance to your partner
F G
Welt the floor, till you trotter & shake
C Am
Wasn't it the truth I told ye?
F G C
Lots of fun a Finnegan's wake
C Am
Then Mickey Moloney raised his head
F G
when a noggon of whiskey flew at him
C Am
It missed him fallin on the bed
F G
The liquor scattered over Tim!
C Am
Tim revives see how he rises
F G
