And At a Quarter After Two We Argued It Was Nine
This is a great drinking song and also a great funeral song, so naturally it’s perfect for Drink Me. It’s been recorded by a lot of different people but this is my favourite. 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 […]
