Nancy Whiskey

I am a weaver a Carleton Weaver,

I am a rash and a roving blade

I've got money in my pocket

And I'm going to follow the roving trade

Chorus

Whisky, Whisky, Nancy Whiskey.

Whisky, Whisky Nancy-o.

As I went in to Glasgow City,

Nancy Whisky I chanced to smell,

I went in and sat down beside her

Seven long years I looked her well.

Chorus

Whisky, Whisky, Nancy Whiskey.

Whisky, Whisky Nancy-o.

As I went in to Glasgow City,

Nancy Whisky I chanced to smell,

I went in and sat down beside her

Seven long years I looked her well.

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 had me soon beguiled.

Chorus

Whisky, Whisky, Nancy Whiskey.

Whisky, Whisky Nancy-o.

As I went in to Glasgow City,

Nancy Whisky I chanced to smell,

I went in and sat down beside her

Seven long years I looked her well.

Now I arose early in the morning

To wet my thirst it was my need

I tried to rise but I was not able,

Nancy had me by the knees.

Chorus

Whisky, Whisky, Nancy Whiskey.

Whisky, Whisky Nancy-o.

As I went in to Glasgow City,

Nancy Whisky I chanced to smell,

I went in and sat down beside her

Seven long years I looked her well.

Well I'm going back to the Carleton weaving,

I'll surely make those shuttles fly,

For I made more at the Carleton weaving

Than ever I did at the roving trade

Chorus

Whisky, Whisky, Nancy Whiskey.

Whisky, Whisky Nancy-o.

As I went in to Glasgow City,

Nancy Whisky I chanced to smell,

I went in and sat down beside her

Seven long years I looked her well.

So come all you weavers;

You Carleton weavers

Come all you weavers where ever you be.

Beware of Whisky Nancy Whisky,

She'll ruin you like she ruined me.

Chorus

Whisky, Whisky, Nancy Whiskey.

Whisky, Whisky Nancy-o.

As I went in to Glasgow City,

Nancy Whisky I chanced to smell,

I went in and sat down beside her

Seven long years I looked her well.
