There Gwere three drunken CmaiGdens, lived on the DIsle of GWight
They drank from Monday Cmorning, didn't Gstop till DSaturday Gnight
When AmSaturday night came round, me boys, the Ggirlies wouldn't go Dout
GThese three drunken CmaiBmdens kept Gpushing the Djug aGbout

Then in comes bouncing CSalGly with a face as Dred as a Gbloom
"Move up, me jolly Csisters, and Ggive your DSally some Groom
For AmI'll be your equal beGfore the night is Dout"
So Gnow four drunken CmaiBmdens, they Gpushed the Djug aGbout
[Verse]
There was woodcock and Cpheasant, GpartDridge and Ghare
And every kind of Cpie, me boys, no GscarciDty was Gthere
They'd Amforty quarts of beer all told, they Gfairly drunk it Dup
GThese four drunken CmaiBmdens who Gpushed the Djug aGbout

GThese four drunken CmaiBmdens kept Gpushing the Djug aGbout

Now Gwhere are your Cfeathered Ghats, your mantles Dcrisp and Gfine?
"They've all been swallowed Cup, me boys, in Gtankards Dof good Gwine"
And Amwhere are your maidenheads, you Gmaids so brisk and Dgay?
"We Gleft them in the Cpublic Bmhouse, we Gdrank them Dclean aGway"
