Thread Name: Chords/Tune Req: Three Drunken Maidens
Subject: Lyr/Chords Add: THREE DRUNKEN MAIDENS
Hi Doc, Hi Bob, We used to play somewhat different version than that in DT. Please find guitar chords included (rather simple as usual):
THREE DRUNKEN MAIDENS (2/4) There (G)were three drunken (C)maidens came (D)down from the Isle of (G)Wight They started to drink on (C)Monday never (D)stopped till Saturday (G)night On (D7)Saturday night they came my lads but (G)still they wouldn't get (D)out And (G)then three drunken (C)maidens did (D)push the jug (G)about
Then in came dancing Sally her cheeks a rosy bloom Shove o'er you jolly sisters and give young Sal some room And I will be your equal before the evening's out And then three drunken maidens they pushed the jug about
They had woodcock and pheasant, partridge and hare And every sort of dainty, no shortage there was there They'd forty gallons of beer me lads but still they wouldn't get out And then three drunken maidens they pushed the jug about
Then in came the landlord, he was looking for his pay Forty pounds for beer me lads these girls were forced to pay They had ten pounds apiece me lads but still they wouldn't get out And then three drunken maidens they pushed the jug about
Where are your fancy hats and your mantles rich and fine? They've all been swallowed up me lads with tankards of fine wine And where are your fancy men, young maidens frisk and gay? You left them in the ale house and it's there you'll have to pay.
Doc, if you need more (i.e. music sheet with notes) please let me know here at DT or just e-mail. Bye
