I called me wife and I said to her: 'Will you kindly tell to me
Who owns that horse outside the door where me old horse should be'
'Oh, you're drunk, you're drunk, you silly old fool and still you cannot see
That's a lovely sow that me mother sent to me'
'Well, it's many a day I've traveled, a hundred miles or more
A saddle on a sow, sure, I never saw before'

'Oh, you're drunk, you're drunk, you silly old fool and still you cannot see
