LYRICS:

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

As long as a bottle was passed around every man was feelin' gay
O'Leary came 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, they winked at one another
Every drink in the place was full the night Pat Murphy died

As 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,
they 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 winked at one another
Every drunk in the place was full the night Pat Murphy died

About two o'clock in the mornin' after emptying the jug
Doyle rolls up the ice box lid to see poor Paddy's mug
We stopped the clock so mrs. Murphy couldn't see 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, they winked at one another
Every drink in the place was full the night Paddy Murphy died

They stopped the hearse on George Street outside Sundance Saloon
They all went in at half past eight and straggered at noon
They went up to the graveyard, so holy and sublime
Found out when they got there, they'd left 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, they winked at one another
Every drink in that 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 got 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, they winked at one another
Every drink in the place was full the night Pat Murphy died

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, they winked at one another
Every drink in the place was full the night Pat Murphy died
