Three Drunken Maidens
G C D G
There were three drunken maidens; they come from the Isle of Wight
C D G
They started to drink on a Sunday; they didn’t stop by Saturday night
Am G D
When Saturday night did come, me boys, still they wouldn’t get out
G C D G
These three drunken maidens, they pushed the jug about
Then up come drunken Sally; her cheeks as red as a bloom
Move up, me jolly sisters, and give your Sally some room
For I’ll be your equal before that we go out
These four drunken maidens, they pushed the jug about
They had woodcock and pheasant, partridge and hare
All kinds of pleasantries; no scarcity was there
They had fourteen casks o’ beer, me boys; still they wouldn’t get out
These four drunken maidens, they pushed the jug about
Then up come the landlord; he’s lookin’ for his pay
That’s a forty pound bill, me boys, these girls are forced to pay
That’s ten pounds a-piece, me lads; still they wouldn’t get out
These four drunken maidens, they pushed the jug about
Where are your feathered hats, your trinkets fair and fine
They’ve all been swallowed up in tankards of good wine
Then where are your maidenheads, ye maidens brisk and gay
We left them in the ale house; we drank them clean away |
