The Night That Paddy Murphy Died

Melody -

1. 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.
Refrain:
  2. 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.
Refrain:

Refrain:
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.
