Tim Finnegan lived on Walkin' Street
F

A gentleman Irish mighty -eyed
C

He had a tongue both rich and sweet
F

A rise in the world he cared to hide
C

But Tim had a sort of Teflon way
C
Am
With the love of the liquor he was born
He'd send him on his way each day,
F
G
he'd drive with a craver every morn
C
Whack with a toe,
Am
he'd dance for your pardon,
F
G
round the floor he'd try to shake
C

Wasn't that the truth, I told you,
F

lots of fun at Finnegan's Wake

One morning Jim was rather full,

his head felt heavy which made him shake
C
Am
Fell off the ladder and he broke his skull,
F
G
C
sent him home his corpse to wake
Am
Rolled him up in a nice clean sheet
C
Am
Laid him out upon a bed
C
Am
With a bottle of whiskey at his feet
F

And a barrel of Guinness at his head
C
Whack with a tool

while you dance for your partner

Round the floor you try to shake

But his friends assembled at the wake

And Mrs. Finnegan called for lunch

First they brought in tea and cake
F

C
It pipes tobacco and brandy punch,

Whittle Malone began to cry
C

Such a lovely corpse, did you ever see?
C
Ah, Tim O 'Vorney,

why did you die?
F
Would you hold your guard,
G
said Monty McGee?

Whack with the toe,
Am
will you dance for your part?

Round the floor, you try to shake

But Mary O 'Connor took up the job

Bitter says she a wrong, I'm sure

Well, Betty gave her a belt and a gown

Left her sprawling on the floor

She laid in all this outrage

And her routine erection soon began

But Tim Maloney raised his head

A bottle of whiskey flew at him

He ducked and landed on the bed

And the whiskey scattered

over Tim
C
Am
Bedazzled, equivised, see how we ride
C
Am
Tim Finnegan rising in the bed
C
Seeing Whitty and Whiskey
Am
ride like blazes
F
Tundra and Jesus,
G
do you think I'm dead?
C
Am
Whack with a joey and ask for your part
F

Round the floor you try to shake
C

Wasn't it the truth, I told you
