lyrics

There were three drunken maidens came from the Isle of Wight
They started to drink on Monday never stopped till Saturday night
On Saturday night they came my lads but still they wouldn't get out
And then three drunken maidens they pushed the jug about

Then in came dancing Sally her cheeks a rosy bloom
Shove o'er you jolly sisters and give young Sal some room
And I will be your equal before the evening's out
And then three drunken maidens they pushed the jug about

They had woodcock and pheasant, partridge and hare
And every sort of dainty, no shortage there was there
They'd forty gallons of beer me lads but still they wouldn't get out
And then three drunken maidens they pushed the jug about

Then in came the landlord, he was looking for his pay
Forty pounds for beer me lads these girls were forced to pay
They had ten pounds apiece me lads but still they wouldn't get out
And then three drunken maidens they pushed the jug about

Where are your fancy hats and your mantles rich and fine?
They've all been swallowed up me lads with tankards of fine wine
And where are your fancy men, young maidens frisk and gay?
You left them in the ale house and it's there you'll have to pay.
