Slogmåkane feat. Svein Sjøen The Night Pat Murphy Died song lyrics

Oh the night 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 feelin' 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

Thay say 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

As Mrs' Murphy sat in the corner pouring out her grief

Kelly and his gang came tearing down the street

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

And kept the 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

Thay say 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

Well two o'clock in the morning after empty'ing the jug

Doyle rolls up the ice box lid to seek for Paddy's mug

We stopped the clock so Mrs. Murphy couldn't tell the time

And 'bout a quarter after two we argued it was nine

That's how they showed their respect for Paddy Murphy

That's how they showed their honour and their pride

Thay say 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

They Stopped the hearse on George Street outside Sundance Saloon

We all went in at half past eight and staggered out at noon

So we went up to the graveyard, so holy and sublime

And found out when we got there, we left the corpse behind!

That's how they showed their respect for Paddy Murphy

That's how they showed their honour and their pride

Thay say 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

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 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

Thay say 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
