Karaoké The Night Pat Murphy Died Johnny Brady

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 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

They said that 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 Missus 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

They put 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

They said that 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

About two o'clock in the morning after emptying the jug

Doyle rolls up the ice box lid to see poor Paddy's mug

We stopped the clock so Missus Murphy couldn't tell the time

And at 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

They said that 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

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

They went up to the graveyard so holy and sublime

Found out when they got there they'd left the corpse behind

That's how they showed their respect for Paddy Murphy

That's how they showed their honour and their pride

They said that 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

The night Pat Murphy died
