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 |

It is probably a Portsmouth or Southampton song. They must be jealous because they were born the wrong side of the water. Four Drunken Maidens There were three drunken maidens Came from the Isle of Wight They drunk from Friday morning clear through to Saturday night When Saturday night it did come round these 3 they wouldn’t go out And these three drunken maidens, They pushed the jug about. Then in comes bouncing Sally, Her cheeks as red as blooms “Move up me jovial sisters, And give young Sal some room And I will be your equal Before the night is out” And these four drunken maidens, They pushed the jug about. There's woodcock and pheasant, and partridge and hare And every sort of dainty, No scarcity was there There's forty quarts of beer, me boys, They fairly drunk them out And these four drunken maidens, Still pushed the jug about. Then up comes the landlord, He's asking for his pay There’s a forty pound bill, me boys These gals have got to pay That's ten pounds apiece, me boys, But still they wouldn't go out And these four drunken maidens, Still pushed the jug about. Oh where are your feather hats, Your mantles rich and fine? They all got swallowed up, me lads, In tankards of good wine And where are your maidenheads, You maidens brisk and gay? We left them in the alehouse, We’ve drunk them clean away. |
