Nancy Whiskey |
I’m a weaver, a Carlton Weaver |
I’m a a rash and a-roving blade |
I’ve got silver in my pockets |
And I follow the roving trade |
Whiskey, Whiskey, Nancy Whiskey |
Whiskey, Whiskey, Nancy-O |
As I went down through Glasgow city |
Nancy whiskey I chanced to smell |
I went in, sat down beside her |
Seven long years I loved her well |
Whiskey, Whiskey, Nancy Whiskey |
Whiskey, Whiskey, Nancy-O |
The more I kissed her, the more I loved her |
The more I kissed her, the more she smiled |
Soon I forgot my Mother’s teaching |
Nancy soon had me beguiled |
Whiskey, Whiskey, Nancy Whiskey |
Whiskey, Whiskey, Nancy-O |
Now, I rose early in the morning |
To slake my thirst, it was my need |
I tried to rise, but I was not able |
Nancy had me by the knees |
Whiskey, Whiskey, Nancy Whiskey |
Whiskey, Whiskey, Nancy-O |
So I’m going back to the Carlton weaving |
I’ll surely make those shuttles fly |
For I made more at the Carlton weaving |
Than ever I did at the roving trade |
Whiskey, Whiskey, Nancy Whiskey |
Whiskey, Whiskey, Nancy-O |
So come all you weavers, you Carlton weavers |
Come all you weavers where e’er you be |
Beware of Whiskey, Nancy whiskey |
She’ll ruin you like she ruined me |
Whiskey, Whiskey, Nancy Whiskey |
Whiskey, Whiskey, Nancy-O |
