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 |
