There were three drunken maidens
come from Elysia
They drank from morning
didn't stop till next night
When the next night did,
they wouldn't then go out
These three drunken maidens
they pass the bottle about
Then up come, Bouncing Delia
her cheeks as red as the harvest moon
Move over my sisters
and give young Delia room
For I'll be your equal
Before that, we go out
These four drunken maidens
they pass the bottle about
There are cock and clam
there are partridge and boar
There are all sorts of delights
No scarcity was there
There are forty bottles of wine me girls
they drunk them dry
These four drunken maidens
they pass the bottle about
Then Up comes the tavern master
He's asking for his pay
that's 400 coins for the bill me girls
these girls were forced to pay.
That's 100 coins apiece me girls
But still, they wouldn't go out
These four drunken maidens
they pass the bottle about
Oh where are your short dresses
your cloaks rich and fine?
They've all been swallowed up
in bottles of good wine
And where are your maidenheads
you maidens flirty & joyful?
We left them in the alehouse
We drank them clean away
