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,

So drunk you can not 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

Ah, you're drunk, you're drunk you silly old fool,

So drunk you can not see

That's a wool blanket that me mother sent to me

Well, it's many a day I've travelled a hundred miles or more

But buttons in 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 up on 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 up on the chair where my old pipe should be

Ah, you're drunk, you're drunk you silly old fool,

So drunk you can not see

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

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

Ah, you're drunk, you're drunk you silly old fool,

So drunk you can not see

They're two lovely Geranium pots me mother sent to me

Well, it's many a day I've travelled a hundred miles or more

But laces in Geranium pots I never saw before

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

I saw a head upon the bed where my old head should be

And as I went home on Saturday night, as drunk as drunk could be

I saw two hands upon her breasts where my old hands should be

Ah, you're drunk, you're drunk you silly old fool,

So drunk you can not see

That's a lovely night gown that me mother sent to me

Well, it's many a day I've travelled a hundred miles or more

But fingers in a night gown sure I never saw before

As I went home on Sunday night, as drunk as drunk could be

I saw a lad sneaking out the back, a quarter after three.

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

Who was that lad sneaking out the back a quarter after three?

Ah, you're drunk, you're drunk you silly old fool,

So drunk you can not see

That was just the tax man that the Queen she sent to me.

Well, it's many a day I've travelled a hundred miles or more

But an Englishman who can last till three I've never seen before
