NANCY WHISKEY
(Traditional)
As I went down thru Glasgow city
Just to see what I might spy
What should I see but Nancy Whiskey
A playful twinkle in her eye
Whiskey, whiskey Nancy whiskey
Whiskey, whiskey Nancy oh
I bought her, I drank her I had another
Ran out of money so I did steal
She ran me ragged Lovely Nancy
For seven years a rollin' wheel
Whiskey, whiskey Nancy whiskey
Whiskey, whiskey Nancy oh
The more I held her, the more I loved her
Nancy had her spell on me
All I knew was lovely Nancy
The things I needed I could not see
Whiskey, whiskey Nancy whiskey
Whiskey, whiskey Nancy oh
As I arose to slake my thirst
As I tried crawling from my bed
I fell down flat, I could not stagger
Nancy had me by the legs
Whiskey, whiskey Nancy whiskey
Whiskey, whiskey Nancy oh
C'mon landlady what's the owing
Tell me what there is to pay
Fifteen shilling, that's the rekoning
Pay me quickly and go away
Whiskey, whiskey Nancy whiskey
Whiskey, whiskey Nancy oh
