Nancy Whiskey Lyrics


As I went down through Glasgow city
Just to see what I might spy
What should I see but Nancy Whiskey
A playful twinkle in her eyeWhiskey, Whiskey, Nancy Whiskey
Whiskey, Whiskey, Nancy ohhI bought her, I drank her, I had another
Ran out of money, so I did steal
She ran me ragged, Nancy Whiskey
For seven years, a rollin' wheelWhiskey, Whiskey, Nancy Whiskey
Whiskey, Whiskey, Nancy ohThe 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 seeWhiskey, Whiskey, Nancy Whiskey
Whiskey, Whiskey, Nancy ohAs I awoke to slake my thirst
As I tried crawling from my bed
I fell down flat, I could not stagger
Nancy had me by the legsWhiskey, Whiskey, Nancy Whiskey
Whiskey, Whiskey, Nancy OhhCome on landlady, what's the owing
Tell me what there is to pay

Fifteen shillings that's the reckoning
Now pay me quickly and go awayWhiskey, Whiskey, Nancy Whiskey
Whiskey, Whiskey, Nancy oh
Whiskey, Whiskey, Nancy Whiskey
Whiskey, Whiskey, Nancy oh

Shane MacGowan (born December 25, 1957) is best known as the original singer and songwriter with The Pogues, and is considered one of the most important and poetic Irish songwriters of the last thirty years. MacGowan drew on his Irish heritage to create The Pogues, a band that he founded, but from which he was away during a long hiatus in the 1990s. Many of his songs are influenced by Irish nationalism, Irish history, the experiences of the Irish in London and in London life in general.
