Nancy Whiskey

Traditional

[Verse 1]
I am a weaver, a Carlton weaver
I am a brash and rovin' blade
I will wander where I wish to
I will follow a rovin' trade

[Chorus]
Whiskey, Whiskey, Nancy Whiskey
Whiskey, Whiskey, Nancy-O

[Verse 2]
As I walked out into Glasgow city
Nancy Whiskey I chanced to smell
I walked in, sat down beside her
Seven long years, oh, I loved her well

[Chorus]
Whiskey, Whiskey, Nancy Whiskey
Whiskey, Whiskey, Nancy-O

[Verse 3]
The more I kissed her, the more I loved her
The morе I kissed her, the morе she smiled
I forgot my mother's teachin'
Nancy soon had me beguiled

[Chorus]
Whiskey, Whiskey, Nancy Whiskey
Whiskey, Whiskey, Nancy-O

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 4]
I'm goin' back to the Carlton weavin'
I'll really made those shuttles fly
I'll make more at the Carlton weavin'
Than ever I did in a rovin' way

[Verse 5]
So come all ye weavers, ye Carlton weavers
Weaver, where e'er ye be
Beware of Whiskey, Nancy Whiskey
She'll ruin you like she blinded me

[Chorus]
Whiskey, Whiskey, Nancy Whiskey
Whiskey, Whiskey, Nancy-O
