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 HONOR AND THEIR PRIDE;
THEY SAID IT WAS A SIN AND SHAME
AND THEY WINKED AT ONE ANOTHER
EVERY DRINK IN THE PLACE WAS FULL THE NIGHT PAT MURPHY DIED

AND SING AN OLEFUL DITTY
T'WAS ON A DAY IN APRIL MONTH
WHEN WE STARTED FROM THE CITY
WE PLANNED A DAY OR TWO AT MAHERS
WE STALWART MEN WERE CHOSEN
TO REMOVE OL' CHARLIE FROM ANGLE POND
WHO FELL IN WHEN THE POND WAS FROZEN
WE SEVEN MEN CAME ROARING DOWN
ON THE ROAD TO ROACHES LINE
WE MIGHT HAVE STOPPED IN AVONDALE OR BRIGUS MIGHT HAVE BEEN FINE
WE WAS HUNGRY AS SIN BUT WE NEVER STOPPED IN
NOR TOOK ANY TIME TO PARK US
WE ALL OF US KNEW THAT WE MUST GET THROUGH
TO REMOVE OLD CHARLIE'S CARCASS
