Op Come Fill Your Glass With Us. Roud #1009. Irish ballad first published in 1864, about whiskey loving Tim Finnegan, pronounced dead while his mates spilled whiskey over him during the wake, causing Tim to re-awake from the death and join celebrating. The song inspired James Joyce's last and eponymous novel in 1939.
