"Three Nights Drunk"
(Traditional)
The first night that I come home
So drunk I could not see
Found
a horse in the stable
Where my horse oughta be
Come here, my little wifey
Explain this thing to me
How
come a horse in the stable
Where my horse oughta
be?
You blind fool, you crazy fool
Can't you never see?
It's only a milk cow your granny sent to me
I've
traveled this world over
Ten thousand miles or more
But a saddle upon a milk cow's back
I never did see before
The
second night that I come home
So drunk I could not
see
Found a coat a-hanging on the rack
Where my coat oughta be
Come here, my little wifey
Explain
this thing to me
How come a coat a-hanging on the
rack
Where my coat oughta be?
You blind fool, you crazy fool
Can't you never see?
It's
only a bedquilt your granny sent to me
I've traveled
this world over
Ten thousand miles or more
Pockets upon a bedquilt
I never did see before
The
third night that I come home
So drunk I could not
see
Found a head laying on the pillow
Where my head oughta be
Come here, my little wifey
Explain
this thing to me
How come a head a-laying on the
pillow
Where my head oughta be?
You blind fool, you crazy fool
Can't you never see?
It's
only a cabbage head your granny sent to me
I've
traveled this world over
Ten thousand miles or more
But a moustache on a cabbage head
I never did see before
