    More than 50 years after my mother played this song for me on her record player, it still makes me smile.

      Makes me cry, thinking of my father. The first English I ve learnt came from the Clancy Brothers listening.

    I saw the Clancy brothers sing this song on tv in the '60's'. I fell in love with it then, I still love it to this day, and I haven't a drop of Irish blood in me. What could that possibly mean?.

    I felt a bit bad, but after a little whiskey I felt better. Renewed, even. It really is the 'water of life'. It's good stuff.
    Course, I'm drinking American Bourbon, so, it's not Irish. I would like to one day go to Dublin, and taste the local brew.

    Tim Finnegan lived in Wattling Street
    A gentle Irishman mighty odd
    He had a brogue so rich and sweet
    To rise in the world he carried a hod
    See he'd sort of a tripling way
    With love for a liquor poor Tim was born
    To help him on with his work each day
    He'd a drop of the Craythor every morn'
    And whack Fol-De-Dah now dance to your partner
    Welt the floor, your trotters shake
    Wasn't it the truth I told you
    Lots of fun at Finnegan's wake
    One morning Tim felt rather full
    His head felt heavy, which made him shake
    Fell from the ladder and broke his skull
    And they carried him home, his corpse to wake
    They rolled him up in a nice clean sheet
    And laid him upon the bed
    A bucket of whiskey at his feet
    And a bottle of porter at his head
    And whack Fol-De-Dah now dance to your partner
    Welt the floor, your trotters shake
    Wasn't it the truth I told you
    Lots of fun at Finnegan's wake
    His friends assembled at his wake
    And Missus Finnegan called for lunch
    First they brought in tay and cake
    Then pipes, tobacco and whiskey punch
    Biddy O'Brien began to cry
    Such a nice clean corpse did you ever see
    Aye, Tim me boy, oh why did you die?
    Arrah shut your gob said Paddy MCGee
    And whack Fol-De-Dah now dance to your partner
    Welt the floor, your trotters shake
    Wasn't it the truth I told you
    Lots of fun at Finnegan's wake
    Then Maggie O'Connor took up the job
    Biddy says she you're wrong I'm sure
    Biddy gave her a belt on the gob
    And left her sprawling on the floor
    Then the war did soon engage
    Woman to woman and man to man
    Shillelah-law was all the rage
    A row and a ruction soon began
    And whack Fol-De-Dah now dance to your partner
    Welt the floor, your trotters shake
    Wasn't it the truth I told you
    Lots of fun at Finnegan's wake
    Then Mickey Maloney raised his head
    When a bucket Of whiskey flew at him
    It missed him falling on the bed
    The liquor scattered over Tim
    Tim revives, see how he rises
    Timothy rising from the bed
    Whirl your whiskey around like blazes
    Thundering Jesus, do you think I'm dead
    And whack Fol-De-Dah now dance to your partner
    Welt the floor, your trotters shake
    Wasn't it the truth I told you
    Lots of fun at Finnegan's wake
    And whack Fol-De-Dah now dance to your partner
    Welt the floor, your trotters shake
    Wasn't it the truth I told you
    Lots of fun at Finnegan's wake

      It’s “tippling” Aqua (drinking to excess as habit) and also “cratur” of whiskey every morn...tip from an Irishman - cratur come from “creature” - Nice job throwing the words up there though!

    The first Version of this song I heard was recorded by Ronnie Drew and The Dubliners. It's my favourite, but this is a very close second.

    • @johnoconnor4623
      @johnoconnor4623 8 лет назад

      I think that my first version was by the Clancy Brothers. But maybe like horse racing they are both 2 to 1 Joint Favourites. And would I bet to be a winner? No, they are the winners. I love all there songs. They come to mind so fast and just as a test which of these would you know more than the other? "Molly Malone" or "Red Haired Mary"

  • @jamesk9216
    @jamesk9216 3 года назад +5

    Not only was I named after James Joyce (him having been my father's favorite author and intellectual figure) but he's become my favorite author of all time too. Some of even the most respected Joyce scholars say Finnegans Wake should be ignored as unintelligible. I understood (with the help of other books) a portion of the enigmatic masterpiece's use of language and was amazed at how much it opened up once I got a few bearings in the text. Although I think it ranks lower than Ulysses as a Modernist masterpiece (From the standpoint of of an admirer of the Western Canon. It's okay if you're critical of that ideology. Hey some times I am too.) but it is definitely worth the effort for the payoff of understanding a portion of it. If for no other reason than for the laughs that you'll get once you in to it. My father introduced me to James Joyce right at the end of high school and I started reading. I never looked back and my knowledge of Joyce has now far surpassed my father's. The only sad thing is that there are no more books by James Joyce for me to read next.

    • @hissibling933
      @hissibling933 6 лет назад

      There are plenty of patterns available. Just search "Aran" knit or "Irish fisherman" knit. These sweaters are not for the casual knitter. They have a lot of complex stitches and the pattern changes often. You have to concentrate on your knitting - definitely cannot knit this as something to do while watching TV.
