Biografía:
The Clancy Brothers tuvieron un papel primordial en el resurgir de la música irlandesa en EE.UU. y están entre las bandas folk irlandesas más conocidas del mundo. El grupo estaba compuesto por los hermanos Tom, Pat y Liam, todos irlandeses. Su primera aparición pública fue en un concierto benéfico, donde dieron el campanazo con animadas canciones irlandesas. Fundaron Tradition Records, donde publicaron "The Rising of the Moon" y "Come Fill Your Glass with Me".

[Verse 1]
C Am F G
Tim Finnegan lived in Walkin Street, a gentle Irishman mighty odd
C Am F G C
He'd a beautiful brogue so rich and sweet, to rise in the world he carried a hod
C Am C Am
You see he'd a sort of a tippler's way but the love for the liquor poor Tim was born
C Am F G C
To help him on his work each day, he'd a drop of the craythur every morn
[Refrain]
C Am F G
Whack fol the dah now dance to yer partner around the flure yer trotters shake
C Am F G C
Wasn't it the truth I told you? Lots of fun at Finnegan's Wake
[Verse 2]
C Am F G
One morning Tim got rather full, his head felt heavy which made him shake
C Am F G C
Fell from a ladder and he broke his skull, and they carried him home his corpse to wake
C Am C Am
Rolled him up in a nice clean sheet, and laid him out upon the bed
C Am F G C
A gallon of whiskey at his feet and a barrel of porter at his head
[Refrain]
C Am F G
Whack fol the dah now dance to yer partner around the flure yer trotters shake
C Am F G C
Wasn't it the truth I told you? Lots of fun at Finnegan's Wake
[Verse 3]
C Am F G
His friends assembled at the wake, and Mrs. Finnegan called for lunch
C Am F G C
First she brought in tay and cake, then pipes, tobacco and whiskey punch
C Am C Am
Biddy O'Brien began to cry, "Such a nice clean corpse, did you ever see,
C Am F G C
Tim avourneen, why did you die?", "Will ye hould your gob?" said Paddy McGee
[Refrain]
C Am F G
Whack fol the dah now dance to yer partner around the flure yer trotters shake
C Am F G C
Wasn't it the truth I told you? Lots of fun at Finnegan's Wake
[Verse 4]
C Am F G
Then Maggie O'Connor took up the job, "Biddy" says she "you're wrong, I'm sure"
C Am F G C
Biddy gave her a belt in the gob and left her sprawling on the floor
C Am C Am
Then the war did soon engage, t'was woman to woman and man to man
C Am F G C
Shillelagh law was all the rage and a row and a ruction soon began
[Refrain]
C Am F G
Whack fol the dah now dance to yer partner around the flure yer trotters shake
C Am F G C
Wasn't it the truth I told you? Lots of fun at Finnegan's Wake
[Verse 5]
C Am F G
Then Mickey Maloney raised his head when a bucket of whiskey flew at him
C Am F G C
It missed, and falling on the bed, the liquor scattered over Tim
C Am C Am
Tim revives, see how he rises, Timothy rising from the bed
C Am F G C
Said "Whirl your whiskey around like blazes, Thanum an Dhul, do ye think I'm dead?"
[Refrain]
C Am F G
Whack fol the dah now dance to yer partner around the flure yer trotters shake
