Our Goodman

The first night when I came home
As drunk as I could be
I found a horse in the stable
Where my horse ought to be.

"Oh come here, my little wifie,
And explain this thing to me,
How come a horse in the stable
Where my horse ought to be?"

"You blind fool, you crazy fool,
Can't you never see,
It's nothing but a milk cow,
You're crazy to me."

"I've traveled this world over,
Ten thousand miles or more,
But a saddle upon a milk cow,
I never did see it before."

The second night when I came home,
As drunk as I could be,
I found a coat a-hanging on the rack
Where my coat ought to be.

"Oh come here, my little wifie,
And explain this thing to me,
How come a coat a-hanging on the rack
Where my coat ought to be?"

"You blind fool, you crazy fool,
Can't you never see,
It's nothing but a bed quilt,
You're crazy to me."

"I've traveled this world over,
Ten thousand miles or more,
But a pocket upon a bed quilt,
I never did see it before."

The third night when I came in
As drunk as I could be,
I found a head a-laying on the pillow
Where my head ought to be.

"Oh come here, my little wifie,
And explain this thing to me,
How come a head a-laying on the pillow
Where my head ought to be?"

"You blind, crazy fool,
Can't you never see,
It's nothing but a cabbage head,
You're crazy to me."

"I've traveled this world over,
Ten thousand miles or more,
But a moustache on a cabbage head,
Well, I never did see it before."
