There were three drunken maid---ens, Came down from the Isle of Wight

           G                           C                         D                              G

They started to drink on Monday, Never stopped ‘til Saturday night

       Am                           Am                       G                                 D

On Saturday night they came my lads but still they wouldn’t get out

              G                                C                   D                        G

And the three young drunken maidens they pushed the jug about

          G                          C            D                    G

Then in came dancing Sally, her cheeks a rosy bloom

            G                    C              D                               G

Shove o’er you jolly sisters and give young Sal some room

        Am                 Am         G                          D

And I will be your equal, before the evenings out

              G                               C                    D                             G

Ah, the three young drunken maidens, they pushed each other ‘bout

          G                             C              D                   G

They had woodcock and pheasant, partridge and hare

        G                  C               D                         G

And every sort of dainty, no shortage of good fare

             Am                   Am                         G                                D

They’d forty gallons of beer me lads, but still they wouldn’t get out

                G                              C                   D                             G

And the three young drunken maidens they pushed each other ‘bout

         G                         C                  D                      G

Well, in then came the landlord, a- looking for his pay

G                           C                           D                               G

Forty pounds for beer me lads these girls were s’posed to pay

          Am               Am                            G                                D

They only had ten pounds me lads But still they wouldn’t get out

               G                               C                    D                              G

And the three young drunken maidens, they pushed each other ‘bout

            G                      C                    D                         G

Where are your fancy hats and your mantles rich and fine

            G                       C                           D                       G

They drank them all a-way me lads With tankards of fine wine

        Am                       Am                   G                          D

And whe--re are your virtues, young maidens frisk and gay

        G                       C                         D                          G

You left them at the pub me girls; you drank them all a-way.
