피네건스 웨이크

피네건스 웨이크(Finnegan's Wake)는 아일랜드의 고전 포크송이다. 팀 피네건(Tim Finnegan)이라는 사람이 주인공이다. 술과 관련된 곡으로, 내용은 다음과 같다. 주인공 팀 피네건이 사다리에서 떨어져 머리를 부딪혀 두개골 골절로 쓰러졌다. 사람들은 피네건이 죽은 줄 알고 슬퍼했다. 그런데 피네건은 술을 너무 좋아해서, 사람들이 위스키를 피네건에게 부었더니 깨어났다. 제임스 조이스의 작품 가운데 같은 제목의 작품이 있는데, 이 고전 포크송에서 제목을 따 온 것이다.

Tim Finnegan lived in Walken streetA gentleman Irish, mighty oddHe had a brogue both rich and sweetAnd to rise in the world he carried a hodYou see he'd a sort of a tipplin' wayWith a love for the liquor he was bornAnd to send him on his way each day,He'd a drop of the craythur every morn' 
CHORUS:
Whack fol' the dah will ya dance to your partnerRound the floor your trotters shakeIsn't it the truth I told ya?Lots of fun at Finnegan's wake
One morning Tim was rather fullHis head felt heavy which made him shakeHe fell off the ladder and he broke his skullAnd they carried him home, his corpse to wakeRolled him up in a nice, clean sheet laid him out upon the bedWith a bottle of whiskey at his feetAnd a barrel of porter at his head
(Repeat Chorus)
Well his friends assembled at the wakeAnd Mrs. Finnegan called for brunchWell, first she brought them tea and cakeThen pipes, tobacco, and whiskey punchThen the Widow Malone began to cry"such a nice clean corpse did you ever see?"" Tim, auvreen! Why did you die?""Will you hold yer gob?" says Molly McGee'
(Repeat Chorus)Well, Mary Murphy took up the job"Oh Biddy," says she, "you're wrong, I'm sure."Well Biddy fetched her a belt in the gobAnd left her sprawling on the floorThen the war did then engage'Twas woman to woman and man to manShillelagh law was all the rageAnd a row and a ruction soon began(Repeat Chorus)Well Mickey Maloney ducked his headWhen a bottle of whiskey flew at himIt missed, and landing on the bedThe whiskey scattered over TimBedad revives, see how he rises!Timothy risin' from the bed!Sayin' "Throwin' your whiskey around like blazes,""Thanum an Dhul! do ye think I'm dead?"''
(Repeat Chorus)
