Chorus:
Paduan suara:
Whack fol the da, now, dance to your partner
Whack mengikuti sang da, sekarang, berdansa dengan pasanganmu
Welt the floor your trotters shake
Letakkan lantai trotters Anda goyang
Wasn't it the truth I tell you
Bukankah itu yang sebenarnya saya katakan
Lots of fun at Finnegan's wake
Banyak bersenang-senang di Finnegan’s bangun

One mornin' Tim was rather full
Suatu pagi ‘Tim agak kenyang
His head felt heavy, which made him shake
Kepalanya terasa berat, yang membuatnya gemetar
He fell from the ladder and he broke his skull
Dia terjatuh dari tangga dan dia mematahkan tengkoraknya
And they carried him home his corpse to wake
Dan mereka membawanya pulang ke jenazahnya untuk bangun
They rolled him up in a nice clean sheet
Mereka menggulungnya dengan kain bersih yang bagus
And laid him out upon the bed
Dan membaringkannya di atas tempat tidur
With a gallon of whiskey at his feet
Dengan satu galon wiski di kakinya
And a barrel of porter at his head
Dan satu barel porter di kepalanya

His friends assembled at the wake
Teman-temannya berkumpul di belakang
And Mrs. Finnegan called for lunch
Dan Mrs. Finnegan meminta makan siang
First they brought in tay and cake
Pertama mereka bawa kue dan kue
Then pipes, tobacco and whiskey punch
Lalu pipa, tembakau dan wiski punch
Biddy O'Brien began to cry
Biddy O’Brien mulai menangis
“Such a nice clean corpse did you ever see?
“Jenazah bersih yang bagus yang pernah Anda lihat?
Tim Mavourneen why did you die?”
Tim Mavourneen kenapa kamu mati? “
“Arrah hold your gob” said Paddy McGee
“Arrah menahan gobimu,” kata Paddy McGee

Then Maggie O'Connor took up the job
Lalu Maggie O’Connor memulai pekerjaan itu
“O Biddy,” says she “you're wrong I'm sure”
“O Biddy,” bilang dia “kau salah aku yakin”
Biddy gave her a belt in the gob
Biddy memberinya sabuk di dalam gob
And left her sprawling on the floor
Dan membiarkannya terbaring di lantai
Then the war did soon engage
Kemudian perang segera terlibat
It was woman to woman and man to man
Itu adalah wanita untuk wanita dan pria untuk pria
Shillelagh law was all the rage
Hukum Shillelagh sangat marah
And a row and a ruction soon began
Dan sebuah deret dan sebuah ruksi segera dimulai

Then Mickey Maloney raised his head
Lalu Mickey Maloney mengangkat kepalanya
When a bucket of whiskey flew at him
Saat ember wiski menerbangkannya
It missed and falling on the bed
Itu merindukan dan jatuh di tempat tidur
The liquor scattered over Tim
Minuman keras itu tersebar di Tim
Tim revives, see how he rises
Tim menghidupkan kembali, melihat bagaimana dia bangkit
Timothy rising from the bed
Timothy bangkit dari tempat tidur
Said “Whirl your whiskey around like blazes
Said “Whirl whisky Anda sekitar seperti blazes
Thundering Jesus, do you think I'm dead?”
Teriak Yesus, apakah Anda pikir saya sudah mati? “
