Version 1 Version 2 Version 3"Seven Drunken Nights" - as played by The Dubliners [Verse 1] A As I went home on Monday night, as drunk as drunk could be D I saw a horse outside the door where my old horse should be A D Well, I called me wife and I said to her, “Will you kindly tell to me A D A Who owns that horse outside the door, where my old horse should be?” [Chorus 1] A “Ah, you’re drunk, you’re drunk, you silly old fool, still you cannot see E A That’s a lovely sow, that me mother sent to me!“ Well, it’s many a day I travelled, a hundred miles and more E A But a saddle on a sow sure I never saw before.“ [Verse 2] A And as I went home on Tuesday night, as drunk as drunk could be, D I saw a coat behind the door, where my old coat should be. A D Well, I called me wife and I said to her, “Will you kindly tell to me A D A Who, owns that coat behind the door, where my old coat should be?" [Chorus 2] A “Ah, you’re drunk, you’re drunk, you silly old fool, still you cannot see E A That’s a woollen blanket that me mother sent to me." "Well, it’s many a day I've travelled a hundred miles and more, E A But buttons in a blanket sure I never saw before." [Verse 3] A And as I went home on Wednesday night, as drunk as drunk could be, D I saw a pipe upon the chair, where my old pipe should be. A D Well, I called me wife and I said to her, "Will you kindly tell to me, A D A Who owns that pipe upon the chair where my old pipe should be?" [Chorus 3] A “Ah, you’re drunk, you’re drunk, you silly old fool, still you cannot see E A That’s a lovely tin whistle that me mother sent to me." "Well, it's many a day I travelled a hundred miles and more, E A But, tobacco in a tin whistle sure I never saw before." [Verse 4] A And as I went home on Thursday night, as drunk as drunk could be, D I saw two boots beneath the bed, where my old boots should be.
