[Verse 1]
GOh the night that Paddy Murphy died, is a Cnight I'll never forGget
GSome of the boys got Emloaded drunk, and they Cain't got sober Dyet;
As Glong as a bottle was passed around every Cman was feelin' Ggay
O'GLeary came with the Embagpipes, some Cmusic Dfor to Gplay
[Refrain]
GThat's how they showed their Crespect for Paddy GMurphy
GThat's how they Emshowed their Chonour and their Dpride;
They Gsaid it was a sin and shame and they Cwinked at one anoGther
And Gevery drink in the Emplace was full the Cnight Pat DMurphy Gdied
[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
As GMrs. Murphy sat in the corner Cpouring out her Ggrief
GKelly and his Emgang came Ctearing down the Dstreet
They Gwent into an empty room and a Cbottle of whiskey Gstole
They Gput the bottle Emwith the corpse to Ckeep that Dwhiskey Gcold
[Refrain]
GThat's how they showed their Crespect for Paddy GMurphy
GThat's how they Emshowed their Chonour and their Dpride;
They Gsaid it was a sin and shame and they Cwinked at one anoGther
And Gevery drink in the Emplace was full the Cnight Pat DMurphy Gdied
[Verse 3]
GAbout two o'clock in the morning Cafter empty'ing the jGug
GDoyle rolls up Emthe ice box lid toC see poor Paddy's mDug
GWe stopped the clock so Mrs. Murphy cCouldn't tell the tiGme
GAnd at a quarter Emafter two Cwe argued it Dwas niGne
[Refrain]
GThat's how they showed their Crespect for Paddy GMurphy
GThat's how they Emshowed their Chonour and their Dpride;
They Gsaid it was a sin and shame and they Cwinked at one anoGther
And Gevery drink in the Emplace was full the Cnight Pat DMurphy Gdied
[Verse 4]
They Gstopped the hearse on George Street outCside Sundance SaGloon
They Gall went in at Emhalf past eight and Cstaggered out at Dnoon
They Gwent up to the graveyard, so Choly and subGlime
GFound out when they Emgot there, they'd Cleft the Dcorpse beGhind!
[Refrain]
GThat's how they showed their Crespect for Paddy GMurphy
GThat's how they Emshowed their Chonour and their Dpride;
They Gsaid it was a sin and shame and they Cwinked at one anoGther
And Gevery drink in the Emplace was full the Cnight Pat DMurphy Gdied
