This is a very interesting thread to me. The words to 'Seven deadly sins' are very similar to a Dubliners song called "Seven Drunken Nights" - The other Dubliners song mentioned in this thread is really a totally different song.

Here's a bit of "Seven Drunken Nights":

Oh, as I came home on Monday night as drunk as drunk could be,
I saw a horse outside the door where my old horse should be.
Well, I called me wife and I said to her, “Would you kindly tell to me:
Who owns that horse outside the door where my ol' horse should be?”
“Ah, you’re drunk, you’re drunk, you silly old fool! Still you cannot see!
That’s a lovely sow that me mother sent to me.”
Well, it's many a day I've traveled, a hundred miles or more,
But a saddle on a sow sure I never saw before.

Oh as I came home on Tuesday night....

It goes on from there. Tuesday was a coat that she says was a blanket, Wednesday was a pipe that she says was a tin whistle, Thursday was pair of boots that she claims are geranium plants (!) and Friday is a head upon his bed that she insists is a baby boy...
