The Night Pat Murphy Died
The Night That Paddy 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 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 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,
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 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 Mrs. 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 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 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 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 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.
La noche en que murió Pat Murphy
La noche en que murió Paddy Murphy
Oh, la noche en que Paddy Murphy murió es una noche que nunca olvidaré
Algunos de los chicos se emborracharon y aún no están sobrios
Mientras pasaba una botella, todo hombre se sentía gay
O'Leary vino con las gaitas algo de música para tocar
Así demostraron su respeto por Paddy Murphy
Así demostraron su honor y su orgullo
Dijeron que era pecado y vergüenza y se guiñaron el uno al otro
Y cada bebida del lugar estaba llena la noche en que Pat Murphy murió
Mientras la Sra. Murphy se sentaba en la esquina derramando su dolor
Kelly y su banda vinieron desgarrando la calle
Entraron en una habitación vacía y robaron una botella de whisky
Pusieron la botella con el cadáver para mantener frío ese whisky
Así demostraron su respeto por Paddy Murphy
Así demostraron su honor y su orgullo
Dijeron que era pecado y vergüenza y se guiñaron el uno al otro
Y cada bebida del lugar estaba llena la noche en que Pat Murphy murió
Sobre las dos de la mañana después de vaciar la jarra
Doyle enrolla la tapa de la caja de hielo para ver a la pobre taza de Paddy
Paramos el reloj para que la Sra. Murphy no pudiera decir la hora
Y a un cuarto después de dos, argumentamos que eran nueve
Así demostraron su respeto por Paddy Murphy
Así demostraron su honor y su orgullo
Dijeron que era pecado y vergüenza y se guiñaron el uno al otro
Y cada bebida del lugar estaba llena la noche en que Pat Murphy murió
Detuvieron el coche fúnebre en George Street a las afueras de Sundance Saloon
Todos entraron a las ocho y media y se tambalearon al mediodía
Subieron al cementerio, tan sagrados y sublimes
¡Averigüé que cuando llegaron allí, habían dejado el cadáver atrás!
Así demostraron su respeto por Paddy Murphy
Así demostraron su honor y su orgullo
Dijeron que era pecado y vergüenza y se guiñaron el uno al otro
Y cada bebida del lugar estaba llena la noche en que Pat Murphy murió
Oh, la noche en que Paddy Murphy murió es una noche que nunca olvidaré
Algunos de los chicos se emborracharon y aún no han estado sobrios
Mientras pasaba una botella, todo hombre se sentía gay
O'Leary vino con las gaitas algo de música para tocar
Así demostraron su respeto por Paddy Murphy
Así demostraron su honor y su orgullo
Dijeron que era pecado y vergüenza y se guiñaron el uno al otro
Y cada bebida del lugar estaba llena la noche en que Pat Murphy murió
