Dubliners - Seven Drunken Nights lyrics

rate me

As I went home on Monday night as drunk as drunk could be<br />

I saw a horse outside the door where my old horse should be<br />

Well, I called me wife and I said to her: Will you kindly tell to me<br />

Who owns that horse outside the door where my old horse should be?<br />

<br />

Ah, you're drunk, <br />

you're drunk you silly old fool, <br />

still you can not see<br />

That's a lovely sow that me mother sent to me<br />

Well, it's many a day I've travelled a hundred miles or more<br />

But a saddle on a sow sure I never saw before<br />

<br />

And as I went home on Tuesday night as drunk as drunk could be<br />

I saw a coat behind the door where my old coat should be<br />

Well, I called me wife and I said to her: Will you kindly tell to me<br />

Who owns that coat behind the door where my old coat should be<br />

<br />

Ah, you're drunk, <br />

you're drunk you silly old fool, <br />

still you can not see<br />

That's a woollen blanket that me mother sent to me<br />

Well, it's many a day I've travelled a hundred miles or more<br />

But buttons in a blanket sure I never saw before<br />

<br />

And as I went home on Wednesday night as drunk as drunk could be<br />

I saw a pipe up on the chair where my old pipe should be<br />

Well, I called me wife and I said to her: Will you kindly tell to me<br />

Who owns that pipe up on the chair where my old pipe should be<br />

<br />

Ah, you're drunk, <br />

you're drunk you silly old fool, <br />

still you can not see<br />

That's a lovely tin whistle that me mother sent to me<br />

Well, it's many a day I've travelled a hundred miles or more<br />

But tobacco in a tin whistle sure I never saw before<br />

<br />

And as I went home on Thursday night as drunk as drunk could be<br />

I saw two boots beneath the bed where my old boots should be<br />

Well, I called me wife and I said to her: Will you kindly tell to me<br />

Who owns them boots beneath the bed where my old boots should be<br />

<br />

Ah, you're drunk, <br />

you're drunk you silly old fool, <br />

still you can not see<br />

They're two lovely Geranium pots me mother sent to me<br />

Well, it's many a day I've travelled a hundred miles or more<br />

But laces in Geranium pots I never saw before<br />

<br />

And as I went home on Friday night as drunk as drunk could be<br />

I saw a head upon the bed where my old head should be<br />

Well, I called me wife and I said to her: Will you kindly tell to me<br />

Who owns that head upon the bed where my old head should be<br />

<br />

Ah, you're drunk, <br />

you're drunk you silly old fool, <br />

still you can not see<br />

That's a baby boy that me mother sent to me<br />

Well, it's many a day I've travelled a hundred miles or more<br />

But a baby boy with his whiskers on sure I never saw before<br />

<br />

And as I went home on Saturday night as drunk as drunk could be<br />

I saw two hands upon her breasts where my old hands should be<br />

Well, I called me wife and I said to her: Will you kindly tell to me<br />

Who owns them hands upon your breasts where my old hands should be<br />

<br />

Ah, you're drunk, <br />

you're drunk you silly old fool, <br />

still you can not see<br />

That's a lovely night gown that me mother sent to me<br />

Well, it's many a day I've travelled a hundred miles or more<br />

But fingers in a night gown sure I never saw before<br />

<br />

As I went home on Sunday night as drunk as drunk could be<br />

I saw a thing in her thing where my old thing should be<br />

Well, I called me wife and I said to her: Will you kindly tell to me<br />

Who owns that thing in your thing where my old thing should be<br />

<br />

Ah, you're drunk, <br />

you're drunk you silly old fool, <br />

still you can not see<br />

That's a lovely tin whistle that me mother sent to me<br />

Well, it's many a day I've travelled a hundred miles or more<br />

But hair on a tin whistle sure I never saw before
