Thread Name: Lyr Req: Seven Drunken Nights
Subject: RE: Seven Drunken Nights, lyrics?
Aboout 25 years ago, I was at an Oscar Brand Concert at South Street and I wrote this verse, which has since been attributed to Trad:

The other night when I got home,
As drunk as I could be,
I saw another man in bed,
Where no man ought to be.
I said to my wife, I said unto she:
What's that man in our bed, where no man ought to be?

She said, You old fool, you damn fool,
As you can plainly see, 'tis nothing but a bathtub me mother sent to me.

Many miles have I travelled,
One thousand miles or more,
But such plumbing on a bathtub,
I never saw before.

Enjoy
