Richard McD. Bridge ADD Versions: Seven Drunken Nights-languages (68* d) RE: seven drunken nights 20 Nov 98


There is an unusual last verse that I can only half remember (in addition to the usual ones)

As I came home on Sunday night
A little before my time
I crept into our cellar
My old twelve bore to find
(Now the bit I forget, then)
I never saw two buggers run
So bloody fast before

I have also heard a blues version - might have been Muddy Waters. Fragment as

Wake up//Woman//Explain all these things to me
Whose face is/
On the pillow/
Where my face/supposed to be

Oh darlin' /
You talk right silly
Why don't you open up your eyes and see
It's nothin'/but a ??
My mother (etc.) sent to me
