and during mighty odd years this man of hod, cement and edifices in Toper's Thorp


song Finnegan's Wake 1: 'Tim Finnegan lived in Walkin Street, A gentleman Irish mighty odd, He had a tongue both rich and sweet, An' to rise in the world he carried a hod. Now Tim had a sort of a tipplin' way With the love of the liquor he was born, An' to help him on with his work each day, He'd a drop of the craythur every morn.' (originally, Poole: song Tim Finigan's Wake: 'Tim Finigan lived in Walker Street A gentleman Irishman — mighty odd — He'd a beautiful brogue, so rich and sweet, And to rise in the world he carried the hod. But, you see, he'd a sort of a tippling way — With a love for the liquor poor Tim was born, And to help him through his work each day, He'd a drop of the craythur' every morn.')
