25 Jul 98 - 01:55 PM (#33330) Subject: Seven (?) Drunken Nights From: Rob Osterman Howdy all, I found the song Five drunken nights in the database but I know there are a few more verses than the ones here. I remember hearing it at a festival and the last verse was something like "I came home on Sat. night, drunk as drunk could be, I saw a man (some thing some thing) where I (something ) something, and I said to my wife.. " and so on.. I know the punchline was something like "But an Englishman that could last past ten, I'd never seen before." But I could be wrong. Anyone know what I'm talking about or am I just losing it from too much time on teh internet? Oh, and if anyone has the chords to it, I'd love to have them too, Thanks a mil Rob |

25 Jul 98 - 07:51 PM (#33342) Subject: Lyr Add: SEVEN DRUNKEN NIGHTS From: I leaned the song as something like this (no number of nights drunk, unless it's a series of Saturday nights), either a man/woman duet or a man singing in falsetto for the woman's part:
MAN: Last Saturday night when I came home as drunk as I could be,
MAN: Last Saturday night...
MAN: Last Saturday night...
MAN: Last Saturday night... |

Drunken Nights From: Benjamin Bodhra/nai/ This song has a variety of versions, changing the way the verses are constructed as well as the tune to which they are sung. Probably in Irish folk the most well known is the version sung by The Dubliners. Of course there is no recording as to what they feel the 6th and 7th verses should be!! |

(As I came home on a Saturday night, as drunk as drunk could be
Oh, you're drunk, you're drunk, you silly old fool, and still you cannot see
Now when I came home on Sunday night, a little after three.
Oh you're drunk, you're drunk, you silly old fool, and still you cannot see, Slainte Alison |
26 Jul 98 - 05:14 AM (#33373) Subject: RE: Seven (?) Drunken Nights From: O'Boyle I've heard it updated to Wonder Bra that Madonna (another "mother" reference) sent to me. The last verse I have also heard some very blue lyrics to, but would rather print here. Rick |
27 Jul 98 - 06:28 PM (#33476) Subject: RE: Seven (?) Drunken Nights From: Rob Osterman Thanks to all who helped me figure out the "I saw a man running out me door, with his pants about his knees" verse and then some.. /:) Now if I might trouble some one a whee bit more.... How do the chords go? (my ear for picking them out is pathetically bad.) Thanx |
