Seven Drunken Nights

As I came home on Monday night, as drunk as drunk could be.
I saw a horse outside the door, where my old horse should be.
I called my wife and I said to her, «Would you kindly tell to me.
Who owns the horse outside the door where my old horse should be?»
«Ah you’re drunk, you’re drunk you silly old fool, still you cannot see.
That’s a lovely sow my mother sent to me.»
«It's many a day I’ve travelled 100 miles or more but a saddle on a sow sure I
never saw before.»
As I came home on Tuesday night, as drunk as drunk could be.
I saw a coat behind the door, where my old coat should be.

«Ah you’re drunk, you’re drunk you silly old fool, still you cannot see.
