The Night that Paddy Murphy Died 
The Night that Paddy Murphy 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 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 
cho: 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. 
Note: From my misspent youth on the streets of Brooklyn, ca. 1946 RG
