Cabbage Head
Dr. John

I come home the first night, drunk as I could be


And there was a mule in the stable, where my mule orta be


I asked my wife, my pretty little wife, explain this thing to me


How come there’s a mule in the stable, where my mule orta be?


Well, you old fool, you drunken fool, can’t you plainly see


That’s nothin’ but a milk cow my granny gave to me?


Well, I’ve traveled the whole world over, ten thousand miles and more


And a saddle and a bridle on a milk cow I ain’t never seen before


Well, I come home the second night, drunk as I could be


And there was a hat on the hat rack, where my hat orta be


I asked my wife, my pretty little wife, explain this thing to me


How come there’s a hat on the hat rack, where my hat orta be?


Well, you old fool, you drunken fool, can’t you plainly see


That’s nothin’ but a chamber pot my granny gave to me?


Well, I’ve traveled the whole world over, ten thousand miles and more


And a John B. Stetson chamber pot I ain’t never seen before


Well, I come home the third night, drunk as I could be



And there was a pair of pants, where my pants orta be


I asked my wife, my pretty little wife, explain this thing to me


How come these pants on the chair, where my pants orta be?


Well, you old fool, your drunken fool, can’t you plainly see


That’s nothin’ but a dish rag my granny gave to me?


Well, I’ve traveled the whole world over, ten thousand miles and more


And a … zipper on a dish rag I ain’t never seen before


Well, I come home the last night, drunk as I could be


And there was a head on the pillow, where my head orta be


I asked my wife, my pretty little wife, explain this thing to me


How come there’s a head on the pillow, where my head orta be?


Well, you old fool, you drunken fool, can’t you plainly see


That’s nothin’ but a cabbage head my granny gave to me?


Well, I’ve traveled the whole world over, ten thousand miles and more


And a moustache on a cabbage I ain’t never seen before!
