Last verse:
I came the last night drunk as I could be,
And I saw a monster standing in the door where my wife ought to be.
I called to my wife, my pretty little wife, "Explain this thing to me.
What's a monster doin' standin' in the door where you ought to be?"
She said, "You old fool, you blind fool, can't you plainly see?
It's nothin' but your own dear wife. Now, give a kiss to me."
Well, I've traveled this wide world over, ten thousand miles or more,
And I kiss my wife most every night, but I've got to get drunk before.
Don't ask me where I learned this, I cannot remember. I think it finishes the song off well, whether it is seven nights or five nights or four.
