Nancy Whiskey

Nancy Whiskey (Complete version originally performed by The Dubliners) - Various Artists (歐美群星)

Whiskey, whiskey, Nancy whiskey

Whiskey, whiskey, Nancy-o

I am a weaver, a Calton weaver

I am a rash and a roving blade

I've got silver in my pouches and

I'll gang follow the roving trade

Whiskey, whiskey, Nancy whiskey

Whiskey, whiskey, Nancy-o

As I come in by Glasgow city

Nancy Whiskey I chanced tae smell

So I gane in, sat doon beside her

Seeven lang years I loved her well

Whiskey, whiskey, Nancy whiskey

Whiskey, whiskey, Nancy-o

The mair I kissed her, the mair I looed her

The mair I looed her, the mair she smiled

And I forgot my mother's teaching

Nancy soon had me beguiled

Whiskey, whiskey, Nancy whiskey

Whiskey, whiskey, Nancy-o

I woke up early in the mornin',

Tae slake ma drouth it was ma need

I tried to rise, but was nae able,

For Nancy had me by the heid

Whiskey, whiskey, Nancy whiskey

Whiskey, whiskey, Nancy-o

"Come on, landlady, what's the reck'nin',

Tell me what I have to pay"

"Fifteen shillin's is the reck'nin'

Pay me quickly and go away"

Whiskey, whiskey, Nancy whiskey

Whiskey, whiskey, Nancy-o

As I went oot by Glasgow city

Nancy Whiskey I chanced tae smell

I git in, drank four and six pence and

All was left was a crooked scale

Whiskey, whiskey, Nancy whiskey

Whiskey, whiskey, Nancy-o

I'll gang back to the Calton weavin'

I surely make the shuttles fly

For I'll mak more at the Calton weavin'

Then ever I did in the rovin' trade

Whiskey, whiskey, Nancy whiskey

Whiskey, whiskey, Nancy-o

Come all ye weavers, Calton weavers

And all ye weavers, where e'er you be

Beware of Whiskey, Nancy Whiskey

She'll ruin you as she ruined me

Whiskey, whiskey, Nancy whiskey

Whiskey, whiskey, Nancy-o

Whiskey, whiskey, Nancy whiskey

Whiskey, whiskey, Nancy-o
