Three Drunken Maidens

      G                  C  G    
There were three drunken maidens,
              D       G
 lived on the Isle of Wight
                       C       
They drank from Monday morning, 
        G         D        G
didn't stop till Saturday night
     Am                            
When Saturday night came round, me 
          G                   D
boys, the girlies wouldn't go out
G                   C  Bm        
These three drunken maidens kept 
G           D    G
pushing the jug about

[Verse]
                       C  G       
Then in comes bouncing Sally with 
          D        G
a face as red as a bloom
                   C            G 
"Move up, me jolly sisters, and 
        D          G
give your Sally some room
    Am                   G        
For I'll be your equal before the 
         D
night is out"
   G                C  Bm         
So now four drunken maidens, they 
G          D    G
pushed the jug about

                  C                
And every kind of pie, me boys, no 
G     D      G
scarcity was there
       Am                      
They'd forty quarts of beer all

Then in comes the landlord and 
  G       D       G
he's looking for his pay
                       C           
"I've a bill for forty knicker that
     G        D      G
 you lot have got to pay"
     Am                       G   
They hadn't got the money and 
                   D
still they wouldn't go out
G                  C  Bm        
These four drunken maidens kept 
G           D    G

[Verse]
    G              C         G   
Now where are your feathered 
               D         G
hats, your mantles crisp and fine?
                            C      
"They've all been swallowed up, me 
         G        D       G
boys, in tankards of good wine"
    Am                             
And where are your maidenheads, you
 G                  D
 maids so brisk and gay?
    G                C      Bm   
"We left them in the public 
     G          D      G
house, we drank them clean away"
