Tim Finnegan lived in Walkin street, A gentleman Irish, mighty odd.

He had a brogue both rich and sweet, And to rise in the world he carried a hod.

You see he'd a sort of a tipplin' way

With a love for the liquor he was born.

And to help him on his way each day,

He'd a drop of the craythur ev'ry morn.
