Dubliners, The - Seven Drunken Nights Lyrics






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?

Ah, you're drunk,
you're drunk you silly old fool,
still you can not 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

Ah, you're drunk,
you're drunk you silly old fool,
still you can not see
That's a woollen blanket that me mother sent to me
Well, it's many a day I've travelled a hundred miles or more
But buttons in 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 up on 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 up on the chair where my old pipe should be

Ah, you're drunk,
you're drunk you silly old fool,
still you can not 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

Ah, you're drunk,
you're drunk you silly old fool,
still you can not 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 my old head should be

Ah, you're drunk,
you're drunk you silly old fool,
still you can not 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 his whiskers on sure I never saw before

And as I went home on Saturday night as drunk as drunk could be
I saw two hands upon her breasts where my old hands should be
Well, I called me wife and I said to her: Will you kindly tell to me
Who owns them hands upon your breasts where my old hands should be

Ah, you're drunk,
you're drunk you silly old fool,
still you can not see
That's a lovely night gown that me mother sent to me
Well, it's many a day I've travelled a hundred miles or 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 my old thing should be
Well, I called me wife and I said to her: Will you kindly tell to me
Who owns that thing in your thing where my old thing should be

Ah, you're drunk,
you're drunk you silly old fool,
still you can not 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 hair on a tin whistle sure I never saw before

    Day 6 and 7 were too rude to play in most places. One version of verse 6 is ""Well, it's many a day I've travelled a hundred miles or more, but an Englishman who can last till three, I've never seen before." After his wife tells him it was an English Tax collector leaving the house at 3am. Day 7 he sees a thing in his wife's thing where his thing should be. His wife calls him silly saying it was a rolling pin and he says '"A rolling pin made out of skin, I never saw before."

  28. P.... P....

    Seven lads (Ciaran Bourke, Ronnie Drew, Luke Kelly, Barney McKenna, Bob Lynch, Jim McCann, Eamonn Campbell) are gone, but John Sheahan (80), Sean Cannon (78), Patsy Watchorn (74), Paddy Reilly (79) are still kicking.

    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?"
    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
    And as I went home on Tuesday night
    As drunk as drunk could be

    At closing time Pat slipped a bottle in his back pocket for when he got home. He crossed the field for the thousandth time but as leapt over the wall he caught his foot and went down on his arse in a heap. Gathering himself up and on his way again, Pat felt liquid running down the back of his leg. He touched the wet spot and looked at his fingers. "Thank God," said Pat, "it's only blood."
