Drunkard's Lament Lyrics
<i>"Five drunkards! 1, 2, 3"</i>
First night, when I went home,
drunk as I can be
There's no mule in the stable,
where my mule ought to be
<i>"Come 'ere, honey, come 'ere"</i>
Explain this thing to me,
How come there no mule in the stable,
where my mule ought to be?
Oh, crazy, silly,
can't you plainly see?
That's nothin' but a milk cow
where your mule ought to be
Well, I've traveled this world over
Million times or more
Sat on a milk cow's back
I've never seen before
Second night, when I went home,
drunk as I can be,
there's another head on the pillow
where my head ought to be
<i>"Come 'ere, honey, come 'ere"</i>
Explain this thing to me,
How come there 'nother head on the pillow
where my head ought to be?
Oh, crazy, silly,
can't you plainly see?
It's nothin' but a cabbage head
where your head ought to be
Well, I've traveled this world over
Million times or more
Head on a cabbage head
I've never seen before
drunk as I can be
There's no mule in the stable,
where my mule ought to be
How come there no mule in the stable,
where my mule ought to be?
can't you plainly see?
That's nothin' but a milk cow
where your mule ought to be
Million times or more
Sat on a milk cow's back
I've never seen before
drunk as I can be,
there's another head on the pillow
where my head ought to be
How come there 'nother head on the pillow
where my head ought to be?
can't you plainly see?
It's nothin' but a cabbage head
where your head ought to be
Million times or more
Head on a cabbage head
I've never seen before
