Oh, as I went home on Monday night, as drunk as drunk could be,
I saw a horse outside the door where my ould 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 ould horse should be?
Ah, you're drunk, you're drunk, you silly ould fool, still you cannot see,
That's a lovely sow that me mother sent to me;
Well, it's many a day I 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 ould coat should be;

Ah, you're drunk, you're drunk, you silly ould fool, still you cannot see,

Ah, you're drunk, you're drunk, you silly ould fool, still you cannot see,

Well, it's many a day I travelled a hundred miles or more,
But tobacco in a tin whistle sure I never saw before.
As I went home on Thursday night, as drunk as drunk could be,
I saw two boots beneath the bed where my ould boots should be;

Ah, you're drunk, you're drunk, you silly ould fool, still you cannot see,
