lyrics

There were four drunken maidens
Lived on the Isle of Wight
They drank from Monday morning
'til midnight Saturday night
When Saturday night rolled round, me boys,
These girls just wouldn't go out
These four drunken maidens
kept pushing 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
and I will be your equal
before the night is out
And these four drunken maidens
kept pushing the jug about

There's woodcock and pheasant,
partridge and hare
There's all sorts of dainties
No scarcity was there
There's forty pints of beer, me boys,
They've fairly drank them out
And these four drunken maidens
kept pushing the jug about

Then up comes the landlord
He's asking for his fee
There's a bill for forty pounds, me boys,
these gobs have got to pay
That's ten pounds apiece, me boys,
but still they wouldn't go out
And these four drunken maidens
kept pushing the jug about

Oh, where are your feathered hats,
your mantles rich and fine?
They've all got swallowed up, me boys,
in tankards of good wine
And where are your maidenheads,
you maidens rich and gay?
We left them at the alehouse
and drank them clean away
