Nancy Whiskey Lyrics

Chorus:
Whiskey whiskey, Nancy whiskey
Whiskey whiskey, Nancy-O!
Whiskey whiskey, Nancy whiskey
Whiskey whiskey, Nancy-O!

*musical interlude*

Chorus

I am a weaver, a Calton weaver,
I am a brash and a roving blade.
I got silver in my britches,
And I follow the roving trade!

Chorus

I went into Glasgow city,
Nancy whiskey I did smell
I walked in, sat down beside her
Seven long years; I loved her well!

Chorus

The more I kissed her, the more I knew her
The more I loved her, the more she smiled!
I forgot my mother's teaching, Nancy soon had me beguiled!

Chorus

Woke up early in the morning,
Lying halfway off the bed,
Tried to rise, but I was not able
Nancy damn near knocked me dead!

Chorus

I'll get back to the Calton weaving;
Surely make those shuttles fly,
I'll make more at the Carlton weaving,
Than ever I did at the roving way.

Chorus

All you weavers, you Calton weavers,
All you weavers where e'er you be,
Beware of whiskey, Nancy Whiskey
She'll ruin you, she ruined me!

Chorus X 4
