Seven Drunken Nights

Seven Drunken Nights

As I went home on a 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 cannot see

that's a lovely sow that me mother sent to me!".

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

but a saddle on a sow sure I never saw before.

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 cannot see
