The Night I Stole Old Sammy Morgan`s Gin Lyrics

Listen folks and I will tell a funny story

You may think it sad but I was
in my glory

'Twas a cellar I crept in, cobwebs brushing by my chin

On the night I stole old Sammy Morgan's gin



As my hand fell on
the jug I had to snicker

But when I started for the door I went much
quicker

For just up above my head someone jumped right out of bed

On the night I stole old Sammy Morgan's gin



As I left that
cellar believe me, I was liftin'

And the hops from one arm to the other
shiftin'

Then I stopped and hauled the plug, sat there till I drained the
jug

Had my mind all set, no spare drops I was missin'



Then on
my feet I thought I was, but wasn't

And for roads, I guess I saw about a
dozen

When I reached the old porch door I went smack-o on the floor

On the night I stole old Sammy Morgan's gin



I just made one step
and landed in the coal box

Then from off the mantle came a Big Ben 'larm
clock

But I finally got upstairs after passing seven bears

'Twas
the night I stole old Sammy Morgan's gin



By my bedroom door an owl
stood taking tickets

Then the monkey stood before me baking biscuits

But the funniest sight of all was two roosters playing ball

On the
night I stole old Sammy Morgan's gin



I saw mice as big as horses
washing dishes

As an ape came in the door dressed up in britches

Then the floor fell on my head as I tried to get in bed

'Twas the night
I stole old Sammy Morgan's gin



Well, I woke next morning guess
'twas closer ev'nin'

And my room was certainly in an awful shape

Someone else had took my head and left an elephant's there instead

On
the morning after drinking Sammy's gin
