Seven drunken nights

Mel.: Seven drunken nights

As I went home on Monday night
As drunk as drunk could be
I saw a horse outside the door
Where my old horse should be
Well I called me wife and I said to her
Will you kindly tell to me
Who owns that horse outside the door
Where my old horse should be

Oh you're drunk you're drunk you silly old fool
Still you cannot see
That's a lovely sow that me mother sent to me
Well it's many a day I've travelled
A hundred miles or more
But a saddle on a sow sure
I never saw before

And as I went home on Tuesday night
As drunk as drunk could be
I saw a coat behind the door
Where my old coat should be
Well I called me wife and I said to her
Will you kindly tell to me
Who owns that coat behind the door
Where my old coat should be

Oh you're drunk you're drunk you silly old fool
Still you cannot see
That's a woollen blanket that me mother sent to me
Well it's many a day I've travelled
A hundred miles or more
But buttons on a blanket sure
I never saw before

And as I went home on Wednesday night
As drunk as drunk could be
I saw a pipe upon the chair
Where my old pipe should be
Well I called me wife and I said to her
Will you kindly tell to me
Who owns that pipe upon the chair
Where my old pipe should be

Oh you're drunk you're drunk you silly old fool
Still you cannot see

Well it's many a day I've travelled
A hundred miles or more
But tobacco in a tin whistle sure
I never saw before

And as I went home on Thursday night
As drunk as drunk could be
I saw two boots beneath the bed
Where my old boots should be
Well I called me wife and I said to her
Will you kindly tell to me
Who owns them boots beneath the bed
Where my old boots should be

Oh you're drunk you're drunk you silly old fool
Still you cannot see

I never saw before

And as I went home on Friday night
As drunk as drunk could be

Where me old head should be

Oh you're drunk you're drunk you silly old fool

As I went home on Saturday night
As drunk as drunk could be

Where me two hands should be

Oh you're drunk you're drunk you silly old fool

As I went home on Sunday night
As drunk as drunk could be
I saw a man who left my house
at a little after three
Well I called my wife and I said to her
Will you kindly tell to me
Who was that man, who left my house
at a little after three

Oh you're drunk you're drunk you silly old fool
Still you cannot see
That's the taxcollector that the king has sent for me
Well it's many a day I travelled
A hundred miles and more
But an englishman, who could last till three
I never saw before.
