Finnegan's Wake

Finnegan's Wake is a 19th century comical Irish ballad about a man named Tim Finnegan who falls from a ladder and breaks his skull after having too much to drink. The mourners at his wake become rowdy and accidentally spill whiskey over his corpse, causing him to come back to life.

The song is famous for being the basis of James Joyce's final work, Finnegans Wake. [[Category:F]]
