Finnegan's Wake
This a comical Irish song from around 1850s,
this is the song that James Joyce set his
masterpiece ''Finnegans Wake''. The song itself
was brought back to life by The Dubliners.

1. Tim Finnegan lived in Walkin Street,
F G
A gentle Irishman mighty odd,
C Am
He had a tongue both rich and sweet,
F G C
An' to rise in the world he carried a hod.

But Tim had a sort of a tipplers way,
C Am F
With the love for the liquor poor Tim was born
C Am
And to send him on his way each day,
F G C
He'd a drop of the craythur every morn
Chorus:
C Am
Whack fol the dah will ya dance to yer partner
F G7
Around the floor with yer trotters shake
C Am
Isn't it the truth I told you?
F G7 C
Lots of fun at Finnegan's Wake

2. One morning Tim was rather full,
F G
His head felt heavy which made him shake
C Am
He fell from a ladder and he broke his skull,
F G C
And they carried him home his corpse to wake

Oh, they rapped him up in a nice clean sheet,
C Am F
And they laid him out upon the bed

With a bottle of whiskey at his feet
F G C
And a barrel of porter at his head.

F G C
And left her sprawling on the floor.
