The Night That Paddy Murphy Died (1)

Trad

The night that Paddy Murphy died I never shall forget
The whole damn crew got stinking drunk and some ain’t sober yet
The only thing we did that night that filled my heart with fear
We took the ice from off the corpse and put it in the beer

And that’s how we showed our respect for Paddy Murphy
That’s how we showed our honor and our pride
That’s how we showed our respect for Paddy Murphy
Our respect for Paddy Murphy on the night that Paddy died

The night that Paddy Murphy died I never shall forget
The whole damn crew got stinking drunk and some ain’t sober yet
The other thing we did that night that filled our hearts with fear
We took the coins from off his eyes, and spent it all on beer

And that’s how we showed our respect for Paddy Murphy
That’s how we showed our honor and our pride
That’s how we showed our respect for Paddy Murphy
Our respect for Paddy Murphy on the night that Paddy died
