As I went home in Monday night, as drunk as drunk could be,

I [F]saw a horse outside the door where [C]my old [F]horse should be.

Well, I [C]called my wife and I said to her: Will you [F]kindly tell to me,

Who [C]owns that horse outside the d[F]oor where [G7]my old horse should [C]be?

Are you [C]drunk, you drunk, you silly old fool? Still you cannot see,

That's the lovely sow that my [F]mother had [G7]given to [C]me.

Well, it's [C]many a-day I travelled, a hundred miles and more,

but a sattle on a sow sure I [G7]never saw be[C]fore.

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 my 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?

Are you drunk, you drunk, you silly old fool? Still you cannot see,

That's the woolen blanket that my mother had given to me.

Well, it's many a-day I travelled, a hundred miles and more,

But buttons in a blanket sure I never saw before.

As I went home on Wednesday night, as drunk as drunk could be,

I saw a pip upon the chair, where my old pipe should be.

Well, I called my wife and I said to her: Will you kindly tell to me,

Are you drunk, you drunk, you silly old fool? Still you cannot see,

That's a lovely tin whistle that my mother had given to me.

Well, it's many a-day I travelled, a hundred miles and more,

But tobacco in a tin whistle sure I never saw before.
