lyrics: not against my own – murphy’s song

cd: Not Against My Own

track 11: Murphy’s Song

We don’t care for Murphy, Murphy rubs us raw
All we get from Murphy is that damned old Murphy’s law
When we’ve got the best-laid plans something sure goes wrong
We smile and say it’s time for us to play old Murphy’s songWe went to Paddy’s wedding, all the boys were there
They all wore in their Sunday best and even combed their hair
But Frankie brought a bottle in and had a nip or two
He belched so loud, it stunned the crowd and no one said “I do”!!

CHORUS

We went to an engagement down at the pub in town
People come to hear us sing and spread the cheer around
When they went to pour the stout the horror that they found
The barrel it had sprung a leak and poured out on the ground

CHORUS

So take this as a lesson from this unlucky lad
All the good that comes along is followed by the bad
You can count on Murphy slinkin’ round you sure to tell
What can go wrong, will go wrong, we’ll say “What the Ahhhhh!”

CHORUS
