Dear GUEST,Eat A Rock,

Would you mind telling us when & where you learned the two extra verses? I am interested for folklore purposes.

Thank!

The song "Drunk Last Night" is derived from "The Dutch Company Song" and dates to at least 1900. It is found in _Carmenia Princetonian(sp?)_ the glee club songbook of Princeton. Lighter I haven't scanned it yet but will pass it on when it is if you are interested.
