Thread Name: help w/ Irish or Scottish song (7 nights drunk)
Subject: help w/ Irish or Scottish folk song
I am trying to find the lyrics to an Irish or Scottish folk song. The story is about a man who gets drunk each night of the week and his wife who is cheating on him. It goes something like this: "As I came home late Monday night, as drunk as drunk can be,"

I can't remember this part - but each night the singer finds something belonging to his wife's lover - the first night it's his horse. His wife responds something like this: "You're drunk, you're drunk! You silly old man! for you can plainly see that this is only a spotted pig my mother, she gave to me"

This goes on for a full week's worth of verses. Does anyone know what this is? I'll try to check back, but my e-mail is BnJBachuss@aol.com Thanks!!
