Three Nights Drunk Lyrics - Kristin Hersh

[One, two , three!] 

The first night that I come home 

So drunk I could not see 

Found a horse in my stable 

Where my horse oughta be 

Come here my little wifey 

Explain this thing to me 

How come a horse in the stable 

Where my horse oughta be? 

You blind fool, you crazy fool 

Can't you never see? 

It's only a milkcow 

You're granny sent to me 

I've traveled this world over 

Ten thousand miles or more 

But a saddle upon a milkcow's back 

I never did see before 

The second night that I come home 

So drunk I could not see 

Found a coat a-hanging on the rack 

Where my coat oughta be 

Come here my little wifey 

Explain this thing to me 

How come a coat a hanging a hanging on the rack 

Where my coat oughta be? 

You blind fool, you crazy fool 

Can't you never see? 

It's only a bedquilt 

You're granny sent to me 

I've traveled this world over 

Ten thousand miles or more 

Pockets upon a bedquilt 

I never did see before 

The third night that I come home 

So drunk I could not see 

Found a head a-laying on the pillow 

Where my head oughta be 

Come here my little wifey 

Explain this thing to me 

How come a head a-laying on the pillow 

Where my head oughta be? 

You blind fool, you crazy fool 

Can't you never see? 

It's only a cabbage head 

You're granny sent to me 

I've traveled this world over 

Ten thousand miles or more 

But a moustache on a cabbage head 

I never did see before
