Shaky Nancy

Richard Thompson

[Chorus]
Here she comes and there she go
Nothing on her fingers, nothing on her toe
And why she comes, and nobody know
Here comes Shaky Nancy

[Verse 1]
Don't be believing she melts in your hand
Runs with the tide and she shifts with the sand
She sends you a message and turns to stone
She's a hard girl, Nancy

[Verse 2]
One cold morning, ice on the sea
Shaky Nancy, won't you lean on me?
Must mean something, how can you lose?
There's nothing choosy or chancy

[Chorus]
Oh, here she comes and there she go
Nothing on her finger, nothing on her toe
Why she come, nobody know
Here comes Shaky Nancy

[Whistle Solo]

[Verse 3]
Nancy went walking, she's gone for the day
When she comes back, she's been two years away
But still tears in her eyes
Who'll say a prayer for Nancy?

[Chorus]
Here she come and there she go
Nothing on her finger, nothing on her toe
Why she come, nobody knows
Here comes Shaky Nancy

[Verse 4]
Just throw me a bottle, call me a bore
And you throw what's left of me into the hall
I'll take a sleep, I'll take a sleep
And I'll dream sweet dreams of Nancy

[Chorus]
Here she come and there she go
Nothing on her finger and nothing on her toe
Why she come, nobody know
Here comes Shaky Nancy
