Three drunken maidens
Traditional
 
There were
three drunken maidens
came from the island, white.
They drunk from Monday morning
didn't stop till Saturday night.
When Saturday night did come, me boys
they wouldn't then go out.
These three drunken maidens,
they pushed the jug about.
 
Then up comes bouncing Sally,
her cheeks as red as blue (?).
"Move up me jolly sisters,
and give young Sally some room!"
"For I'll be your equal,
before that we go out."
These four drunken maidens,
they pushed the jug about.
 
There's wood-cock and phesant,
there's partridges and hare.
There's all sorts of dainties,
no scarcity was there.
There's forty quarts of beer, me boys
They barely drunk them out.
These four drunken maidens,
they pushed the jug about.
 
Then up comes the landlord,
he's asking for his pay.
"It's forty pound'bill, me boys
these girls 'is'sposed to pay!
That's ten pounds a peice, me lads",
but still they wouldn't go out.
These four drunken maidens,
they pushed the jug about.
 
And where are your feathered hats,
your mantles rich and fine?
"They've all been a'swallowed up
in tankards of good wine."
And where are your maidenheads,
you maidens brisk and gay?
"We left them in the alehouse;
We drank them clean away!"
