Oh, the night that |
|
Paddy Murphy died |
|
Is a night, |
|
I'll never forget |
|
Some of the boys got loaded drunk |
|
And they ain't got sober yet |
|
Well, I said some of the boys got loaded drunk |
|
And they ain't got sober yet |
|
Well, as long as a bottle was passed around every man was feelin' gay |
|
But O'Leary came with the bagpipes, some music for to play |
|
That's how they showed their respect for |
|
Paddy Murphy |
|
That's how they showed their honor and their pride |
|
They said, it was a sin and shame and they winked at one another |
|
Every drink in the place was full the night |
|
Pat Murphy died |
|
Mrs. Murphy sat in the corner pouring out her grief |
|
Kelly and his gang came tearing down the street |
|
They went into an empty room and a bottle of whiskey stole |
|
Put the bottle with the corpse to keep that whiskey cold |
|
That's how they showed their respect for |
|
Paddy Murphy |
|
That's how they showed their honor and their pride |
|
They said, it was a sin and shame and they winked at one another |
|
Every drink in the place was full the night |
|
Pat Murphy died |
|
About two o'clock in the morning after emptying the jug |
|
Doyle rolls up the ice box lid to see poor |
|
Paddy's mug |
|
We fixed the clock so |
|
Mrs. Murphy couldn't tell the time |
|
And at a quarter after two we argued it was nine |
|
That's how they showed their respect for |
|
Paddy Murphy |
|
That's how they showed their honor and their pride |
|
They said, it was a sin and shame and they winked at one another |
|
Every drink in the place was full the night |
|
Pat Murphy died, go |
|
They stopped the wheel of the hearse outside |
|
Sundance Saloon |
|
All went in at half past eight and staggered out at noon |
|
Went up to the graveyard, so holy and sublime |
|
Found out when they got there, they'd left the corpse behind |
|
That's how they showed their respect for |
|
Paddy Murphy |
|
That's how they showed their honor and their pride |
|
They said, it was a sin and shame and they winked at one another |
|
Every drink in the place was full, the night |
|
Pat Murphy died |
|
Oh, the night that |
|
Paddy Murphy died is a night, |
|
I'll never forget |
|
Some of the boys got loaded drunk and they ain't been sober yet |
|
As long as a bottle was passed around, every man was feelin' gay |
|
O'Leary came with the bagpipes, some music for to play |
|
That's how they showed their respect for |
|
Paddy Murphy |
|
That's how they showed their honor and their pride |
|
They said, it was a sin and shame and they winked at one another |
|
Every drink in the place was full the night |
|
Pat Murphy died |
|
Oh, every drink in the place was full the night |
|
Pat Murphy died |
