Kilkenny Brothers - Seven Drunken Nights lyrics

rate me

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

Oh 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'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

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 wollen blanket that me mother sent to me

Well it's many a day I've travelled

A hundred miles or more

But buttons on 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 upon 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 upon the chair

Where my old pipe should be

Oh you're drunk you're drunk you silly old fool

Still you cannot 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

Oh you're drunk you're drunk you silly old fool

Still you cannot 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

Well I called me wife and I said to her

Will you kindly tell to me

Who owns that head upon the bed

Where me old head should be

Oh you're drunk you're drunk you silly old fool

Still you cannot see

That's a baby boy that me mother sent to me

Well it's many a day I've travelled

A hundred miles or more

But a baby boy with whiskers on sure I never saw before

As I went home on Saturday night

As drunk as drunk could be

I saw two hands upon her breasts

Where me two hands should be

Well I called my wife and I said to her

Will you kindly tell to me

Who owns that hands upon your breasts

Were me two hands should be

Oh you're drunk you're drunk you silly old fool

Still you cannot see

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

Well it's many a day I travelled

A hundred miles and 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 thing in her thing

Where me old thing should be

Well I called my wife and I said to her

Will you kindly tell to me

Who owns that thing in your thing

Where me old thing should be

Oh you're drunk you're drunk you silly old fool

Still you cannot see

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

Me

Well it's many a day I travelled

A hundred miles and more

But a baby boy with whiskers on I never saw before!
