Trunkenbold [English translation]

Monday night I staggered home,

from another drunken row

And i see a mantle in the hall,

where my mantle used to go

I tell my wife: Hey wife, there's just

one thing that grieves me so

Why'se there a mantle in the hall,

where my mantle used to go ?

O you drunken-drunken-drunken sod

when will you finally see ?

Ain't nothing but the patchwork rag

my mother gave to me

Alas I travelled land and sea,

and will for many more

But a blanket with a collar, well

I've never seen before.

Tuesday night I staggered home,

from another drunken row

And a pocket watch sits on the table,

where my watch used to go

I tell my wife, Hey wife,

there's just one thing that grieves me so

where my watch used to go ?

O you drunken-drunken-drunken sod

when will you finally see ?

That's just a can of lighter-gas,

my mother gave to me

Alas I travelled land and sea,

and will for many more

But Lighter fluid that goes tick-tock,

I've never seen before

from another drunken row

And there's a pipe in my ashtray,

where my pipe used to go

where my pipe used to go ?

O you drunken-drunken-drunken sod

and will for many more

But a penny whistle that smells so groce,

I've never seen before
