The Night Pat Murphy Died
Great Big Sea

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 feeling 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 honour and their pride,

They said it was, a sin and a shame they winked at one and another,

And every drink in the place was full the night Pat Murphy died!

As Missus Murphy sat in the corner pourin' out her grief,

Kelly and his gang came tearin' down the street,

They went into an empty room and a bottle of whiskey stole,

They put that 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 honour and their pride,

They said it was, a sin and a shame they winked at one and another,

And every drink in the place was full the night Pat Murphy died!

Well, two o'clock in the mornin' after emptyin' the jug,

Doyle rose up the icebox lid to see poor Paddy's mug,

They stopped the clock so Missus Murphy couldn't tell the time,

And at a quarter after two we argued it was nine!

That's how they show their respect for Paddy Murphy,

That's how we show our honour and our pride,

They said it was, a sin and a shame they winked at one and another,

And every drink in the place was full the night Pat Murphy died!

Well, they stopped the hearse on George Street outside some damn saloon,

They all went in at half past eight and staggered out at noon,

The went up to the graveyard so holy and sublime,

Found out when they'd got there they'd left the corpse behind!

That's how they showed their respect for Paddy Murphy,

That's how they showed their honour and their pride,

They said it was, a sin and a shame we winked at one and another,

And 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 feeling gay,

O'Leary came with bagpipes some music for to play!

That's how they showed their respect for Paddy Murphy,

That's how they showed their honour and their pride,

They said it was, a sin and a shame we winked at one and another,

And every drink in the place was full the night Pat Murphy died!

Well, every drink in the place was full the night Pat Murphy died!
