Oh, the night that Paddy Murphy diedIs a night, I'll never forgetSome of the boys got loaded drunkAnd they ain't got sober yetWell, I said some of the boys got loaded drunkAnd they ain't got sober yetWell, as long as a bottle was passed around every man was feelin' gayBut O'Leary came with the bagpipes, some music for to playThat's how they showed their respect for Paddy MurphyThat's how they showed their honor and their prideThey said, it was a sin and shame and they winked at one anotherEvery drink in the place was full the night Pat Murphy diedMrs. Murphy sat in the corner pouring out her griefKelly and his gang came tearing down the streetThey went into an empty room and a bottle of whiskey stolePut the bottle with the corpse to keep that whiskey coldThat's how they showed their respect for Paddy MurphyThat's how they showed their honor and their prideThey said, it was a sin and shame and they winked at one anotherEvery drink in the place was full the night Pat Murphy diedAbout two o'clock in the morning after emptying the jugDoyle rolls up the ice box lid to see poor Paddy's mugWe fixed the clock so Mrs. Murphy couldn't tell the timeAnd at a quarter after two we argued it was nineThat's how they showed their respect for Paddy MurphyThat's how they showed their honor and their prideThey said, it was a sin and shame and they winked at one anotherEvery drink in the place was full the night Pat Murphy died, goThey stopped the wheel of the hearse outside Sundance SaloonAll went in at half past eight and staggered out at noonWent up to the graveyard, so holy and sublimeFound out when they got there, they'd left the corpse behindThat's how they showed their respect for Paddy MurphyThat's how they showed their honor and their prideThey said, it was a sin and shame and they winked at one anotherEvery drink in the place was full, the night Pat Murphy diedOh, the night that Paddy Murphy died is a night, I'll never forgetSome of the boys got loaded drunk and they ain't been sober yetAs long as a bottle was passed around, every man was feelin' gayO'Leary came with the bagpipes, some music for to playThat's how they showed their respect for Paddy MurphyThat's how they showed their honor and their prideThey said, it was a sin and shame and they winked at one anotherEvery drink in the place was full the night Pat Murphy diedOh, every drink in the place was full the night Pat Murphy died |
