The Dubliners – Seven Drunken Nights
You may notice only five nights in the song. The other two verses were always considered too vulgar. Not here though.
-
As I went home on Saturday night as drunk as drunk could be,
-
I saw two hand upon my wife’s breast where my two hands should be.
-
Well, I called me wife and I said to her: “Will you kindly tell to me
-
Who owns those two hands upon you breast where my two hands should be?”
-
“Ah, you’re drunk, you’re drunk, you silly old fool, still you can not see. That’s an English tax collector that the Queen has sent to me.”
-
Well, it’s many a day I’ve travelled a hundred miles or more,
-
But but an Englishman who can last til three, I’ve never seen before.

- As I went home on Sunday night as drunk as drunk could be,
- I saw a thing inside her thing where my old thing should be.
- Well, I called me wife and I said to her: “Will you kindly tell to me
- Who owns that thing inside your thing where my old thing should be?”
“Ah, you’re drunk, you’re drunk, you silly old fool, still you can not see. That’s a lovely candle that me mother sent to me.”
-
- Well, it’s many a day I’ve travelled a hundred miles or more,
- But a set of balls on a candle, I never saw before.
