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.
i called my 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?
Ay, you're drunk, you're drunk you silly old fool,
still you cannot see.
that's a lovely sow that my mother sent to me.
well, it's many a day i've traveled, a hundred miles or more,
but a saddle on a sow, sure, i never saw before.
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.
i called my 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 woolen blanket that my mother sent to me.
well, it's many a day i've traveled, a hundred miles or more,

As i went home on wednesday night,
as drunk as drunk could be.
