Oh the night that Patty Murphy died, is a night I'll never forget
Some of the boys got a little bit 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
Chorus:
That's how they showed their respect for Patty Murphy
That's how they showed their honour and their pride;
They said it was a silly 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
Chorus
About two o'clock in the morning after emptying the jug
Doyle rolls up the ice box lid to see poor Patty's mug
We fixed the clock so Mrs. Murphy couldn't tell the time
And at a quarter after two we argued it was nine
Chorus
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 we got there, they'd left the corpse behind!
Chorus
Oh the night that Patty Murphy died, is a night I'll never forget
Some of the boys got a little 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
Chorus
Well every drink in the place was full the night Pat Murphy died!

The only CD I have is Play but who cares I could probably listen to it all day long. These guys are my favourite band from back out East.

When my friends and I get together and get a little loaded, we always wind up putting this album on and screaming the songs at each other. We are slowly exposing other people to it, even hardcore rockers and Hip Hop aficionados get into it, as it turns out anybody who is drunk is instantly a Great Big Sea fan.
