Lyrics
wasn t it the truth i told you
he d a drop of the craythur every morn
he fell from a ladder and he broke his skull
So they took him home his corpse to wake, t was woman to woman and man to man Moore, wasn t it the truth i told you
Lots of fun at finnegan s wake, with a barrel of porter at his feet Wake, one morning tim was rather full
whack fol the dah now swing to yer partners
welt the flure yer trotters shake
And they laid him out upon the bed, dance the flure yer trotters shake Wake, lots of fun at finnegan s wake
t was woman to woman and man to man
lots of fun at finnegan s wake
Biddy gave her a belt in the gob, and they laid him out upon the bed
welt the flure yer trotters shake
The whiskey spilt all over tim, with all his friends there at the wake
a gentleman irish mighty odd
Whack fol the dah now swing to yer partners, whack fol the dah now swing to yer partners Finnegan's, welt the flure yer trotters shake
Wasn t it the truth i told you, begod he revives, welt the flure yer trotters shake
Mrs finnegan called out for the lunch, then peggy jordan took up the job Christy, whack fol the dah now swing to yer partners
Why did you die?, biddy gave her a belt in the gob Moore, whack fol the dah now swing to yer partners
whack fol the dah now swing to yer partners
Lots of fun at finnegan s wake, and they laid him out upon the bed Christy, dance the flure yer trotters shake
Lots of fun at finnegan s wake, shillelagh law was all the rage, lots of fun at finnegan s wake
T was woman to woman and man to man, lots of fun at finnegan s wake Moore, tim finnegan lived in walkin street
Whack fol the dah now swing to yer partners, and they laid him out upon the bed
Each side in war did then engage, welt the flure yer trotters shake
Begod he revives, when a bottle of whiskey flew at him, lots of fun at finnegan s wake
with a love for the liquor tim was born
Whack fol the dah now swing to yer partners, lots of fun at finnegan s wake
Welt the flure yer trotters shake, timothy leapin up out from the bed
welt the flure yer trotters shake
