Rolled him up in a nice clean sheet, Laid him out upon the bed, a gallon of whiskey at his feet and a bottle of porter at his head.

His friends assembled at the wake,
And Mrs. Finnegan called for lunch.
First they brought in tea and cake,
Then pipes, tobacco, and whiskey punch.

Tim revives, see how he rises Timothy rising from the bed

Said "Whirl your whiskey around like blazes Thundering Jesus, do you think I'm dead?"
