Help with finding that special song...
Allright my super hero whistlers, WHISTLERS UNITE!
*********special theme show music*********
Seriously, I've been trying to find the music to Seven Drunken Nights so I can play it on my whistle, but It's been rather ellusive to find. None of the sites I've searched has it (or at least under that name). Does anyone have it and would be willing to share?
Thanks,
Sugar T. Washington

OK You asked for it:
As I went home on Saturday night as drunk as drunk could be
I saw two hands upon her breasts where me two hands should be
Well I called my wife and I said to her will you kindly tell to me
Who owns those hands upon your breasts were my two hands should be
Ah you're drunk you're drunk you silly old fool still you cannot see
That's a lovely night gown that me mother sent to me
Well it's many a day I travelled a hundred miles and more
But fingers in a night gown sure I never saw before
As I went home on Sunday night as drunk as drunk could be
I saw a thing inside her thing where me old thing should be
Well I called my wife and I said to her will you kindly tell to me
Who owns that thing inside your thing where me old thing should be
Ah you're drunk you're drunk you silly old fool still you cannot see
That's that lovely tin whistle that me mother sent to me
Well it's many a day I travelled a hundred miles and more
But hair on a tin whistle sure I never saw before
an alternative for the sunday:
Now when I came home on Sunday night,a little after three.
I saw a man running out the door with his pants about his knee.
So I called to my wife and I said to her: would you kindly tell to me,
who was that man running out the door with his pants about his knee?
Oh you're drunk, you're drunk,you silly old fool, and still you cannot see,
Twas nothing but the tax collector the Queen sent to me.
Well, it's many a day I've travelled, a hundred miles or more,
But an Englishman that could last 'till three I never saw before.

I think they've done at least two. The one you're thinking of was done by Martin on Ten man top. I think there was another, with another name and possibly done by Bob Johnson, on one of the later albums (Twisted and Tried maybe?).rh wrote:didn't Steeleye Span do a version of that song?
It's quite a common song, with many different incarnations.

To put it in simpler terms, since your mind hasn't been contaminated by the dots, just treat the bottom note of the whistle as D, irrespective of what key the whistle is actually in, and count your way up: thus, when you remove one finger of the lower hand, you're playing E, remove two and you're playing F etc. - even if your piano doesn't agree.cazadorecovey wrote:Thanks for the abc, but I see that it cannot be readily played on my d whistle. Seeing as how I'm not sheet musically inclined... ball help please. What's needed to change the (key?).
Geez, I sound like I should just figure it out on my own, but I'll see what reply Is gets.

(The fact that the dot-readers regard some instruments as "transposing instruments" demonstrates reality being stood on its head. It's the dots that are transposed, not the music.)
