"When I came home on Monday night, as drunk as drunk could be..."?

Question

Does anyone know the rest of the lyrics to this Irish folk song? It's a little rude! I can only remember the first verse, but would love to know the rest!

Answer 1

Hello,

         It's a song by the Irish folk group,called the Dubliners, and if the group recorded 50 albums, 7 drunken nights would be on most of them, and the song is sung moderately enough for you to hear all the lyrics quite clearly, Hope this helps you...Tony M

Seven Drunken Nights, sang it at many a pub.

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

Ah, you're drunk,

you're drunk you silly old fool,

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

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

Answer 6

I have never found a recording of the last two verses and have only heard them live-in the US, never in Ireland. There is an American version of the piece that I think may have made the passage east during the 1800's but I haven't done the research on it.
