FOh the night that Paddy Murphy died, Fis a night I'll never forFget FSome of the boys got lAmoaded drunk, and tFhey ain't got sober yGet; FAs long as a bottle was passed aroundF every man was feelin' gFay FO'Leary came Amwith the bagpipes,F some music Gfor to plaFy
[Chorus:]
FThat's how they showed their Frespect for Paddy MurFphy FThat's how theyAm showed their hoFnour and their priGde; FThey said it was a sin and shame anFd they winked at one anotFher FAnd every drink iAmn the place was full tFhe night PaGt Murphy diFed F Am F G F
FAs Mrs. Murphy sat in the corner Fpouring out her grFief FKelly and his gAmang came tearFing down the streGet FThey went into an empty room and Fa bottle of whiskey stFole FThey put the bottle wAmith the corpse tFo keep that wGhiskey coFld
[Chorus]
FAbout two o'clock in the morning Fafter empty'ing the jFug FDoyle rolls up Amthe ice box lid toF see poor Paddy's mGug FWe stopped the clock so Mrs. Murphy cFouldn't tell the tiFme FAnd at a quarter Amafter two Fwe argued it Gwas niFne
[Chorus]
FThey stopped the hearse ouFtside Sundance SalFoon FThey all went in atAm half past eight and Fstaggered out at noGon FThey went up to the graveyard, sFo holy and subliFme FFound out when they gAmot there, tFhey'd left tGhe corpse behFind!
[Chorus]
FOh the night that Paddy Murphy died, Fis a night I'll never forFget FSome of the boys got Amloaded drunk and thFey ain't been soberG yet; FAs long as a bottle was passed around eFvery man was feelin' gFay FO'Leary came wAmith the bagpipes, sFome musicG for to pFlay
[Chorus]
