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?"

Ah, you're drunk,

You're drunk, you silly old fool,

Still you can not see

That's a lovely sow that me mother sent to me.

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

So 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?"

Ah, you're drunk,

You're drunk, you silly old fool,

Still you can not see

That's a woollen blanket that me mother sent to me.

It's many a day I've travelled a hundred miles or more

But buttons in a blanket sure I never saw before.

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

I saw a pipe up on the chair where my old pipe should be

Who owns that pipe up on the chair where my old pipe should be?"

Ah, you're drunk,

You're drunk, you silly old fool,

Still you can not see

That's a lovely tin whistle that me mother sent to me.

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 came home on a Thursday? ...Thursday night as drunk as drunk could be

I-I-I saw two boots beneath the bed where my old boots should be

Well, I called me wife and I says to her: "Will you kindly tell to me

Well, as I went home on Friday night as drunk as drunk could be
