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, everyone was feelin' gay
O'Leary came with the bagpipes, some music for to play!

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

Mrs. Murphy sat in a corner, pourin' out her grief
When Kelly and his gang came a-tearin' down the street
They went into an empty room and a bottle of whiskey stole
And put that bottle with the corpse to keep that whiskey cold!

[Chorus]

Well, everyone started drinkin', they didn't worry for a prayer
Mrs. Murphy said she'd wait 'till everyone was there
If e'er a sight I ever did see that made me shiver with fear
They took the ice right off the corpse and placed it with the beer!

[Chorus]

A fight broke out, 'twas fierce and strong, and everyone was in
Someone knocked the whiskers right off poor old Darby Flynn
And Dirty Andy Burke was there, now whaddaya think he'd done?
He put the corpse right on its head in the corner just for fun!

[Chorus]

Then Mrs. Murphy started in and battled with the cops
She chased 'em, every one of them, she chased 'em several blocks
A lovely time was had by all, 18 in court were tried
For having caused a riot on the night Pat Murphy died!

[Chorus]

Then someone asked old Finnegan if anyone had died
"Well," says he, "I'm not quite sure. I just came for the ride!"
They headed for the graveyard, all holy and sublime
And found out when they'd got there they'd left the corpse behind!

[Chorus x2]
