Sounds like you're mixing the fiddle tune "Whiskey Before Breakfast" with the song "Three Drunken Maidens" which you can find in the digitrad lyrics finder at the top of the main page under "Drunken Maidens"...

There were three drunken maidens
come from the Isle of Wight
They drank from monday morning,
Nor stopped til saturday night...

There are also some words to "Whiskey Before Breakfast," ending with the refrain "...Lord forgive us and protect us, we've been drinking Whiskey Before Breakfast."

Then there's "Nancy before Breakfast," a combination of "Waiting for Nancy" and "Whisky before Breakfast," a frequent request of my old contradance band The Sea Slugs.

Cheerily,
Charley Noble
