VERSE 1
When I come home one night
As drunk as I could be
I saw a saddle horse
Where my horse ought t' be
Come here my little wife
Explain this thing t' me
Who's is th saddle horse
Where my horse ought t' be
Well, you ole fool, ya blind fool
Can't ya plainly see
That is just a milk cow
My Mother gave t' me
Well, I've been around this wide world
A hundred miles or more
Saddle on a milk cow
I never saw before
VERSE 2
When I come home one night
As drunk as I could be
I saw an overcoat
Where my coat ought t' be
Well, come here my little wife
An' explain this thing t' me
Who's is th overcoat
Where my coat ought t' be
Well, you ole fool, ya blind fool
Can't ya plainly see
That is just a bed-quilt
My Mother gave t' me
Well, I've been around this wide world
A hundred miles or more
Pockets on a bed-quilt
I never saw before
VERSE 3
When I come home one night
As drunk as I could be
I saw a head upon th bed
Where my head ought t' be
Come here my little wife
Explain this thing t' me
Who's head upon th bed
Where my head ought t' be
Well, you ole fool, ya blind fool
Can't ya plainly see
That is just a cabbage head
My Mother gave t' me
Well, I've been around this wide world
A hundred miles or more
An a mustache on a cabbage head
I never saw before
