[Great Big Sea - Paddy murphy 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
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
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

That's how they showed their
