1
Oh the night that Paddy Murphy died, is a night I'll never forget
2
Some of the boys got loaded drunk, and they ain't got sober yet;
3
As long as a bottle was passed around every man was feelin' gay
4
O'Leary came with the bagpipes, some music for to play
5
[Chorus]
6
That's how they showed their respect for Paddy Murphy
7
That's how they showed their honour and their pride;
8
They said it was a sin and shame and they winked at one another
9
And every drink in the place was full the night Pat Murphy died
10
As Mrs. Murphy sat in the corner pouring out her grief
11
Kelly and his gang came tearing down the street
12
They went into an empty room and a bottle of whiskey stole
13
They put the bottle with the corpse to keep that whiskey cold
14
[Chorus]
15
About two o'clock in the morning after empty'ing the jug
16
Doyle rolls up the ice box lid to see poor Paddy's mug
17
We stopped the clock so Mrs. Murphy couldn't tell the time
18
And at a quarter after two we argued it was nine
19
[Chorus]
20
They stopped the hearse on George Street outside Sundance Saloon
21
They all went in at half past eight and staggered out at noon
22
They went up to the graveyard, so holy and sublime
23
Found out when they got there, they'd left the corpse behind!
24
[Chorus]
25
Oh the night that Paddy Murphy died, is a night I'll never forget
26
Some of the boys got loaded drunk and they ain't been sober yet;
27
As long as a bottle was passed around every man was feelin' gay
28
O'Leary came with the bagpipes, some music for to play
29
[Chorus]
