steeleye span - three drunken maidens lyrics
there were three drunken maidens
came from the isle of wight
they drunk from monday morning
nor stopped till sat-rday night
when sat-rday night did come me boys,
they wouldn’t then go out
these three drunken maidens,
they pushed the jug about.
then in comes bouncing sally,
her cheeks as red as blooms
move up me jolly sisters,
and give young sally some room
for i will be your equal
before the night is out
these four drunken maidens,
they pushed the jug about.
there’s woodc-ck and pheasant,
there’s partridge and hare
there’s all sorts of dainties,
no scarcity was there
there’s forty quarts of beer, me boys,
they fairly drunk them out
these four drunken maidens,
they pushed the jug about.
but up comes the landlord,
he’s asking for his pay
it’ 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
these four drunken maidens,
they pushed the jug about.
oh where are your feathered hats,
your mantles rich and fine
they’ve all been swallowed up,
in tankards of good wine
and where are your maidenheads,
you maidens frisk and gay
we left them in the alehouse,
we drank them clean away
