Nancy Whiskey Lyrics


I am a weaver, a Carlton weaver
I am a brash and a rovin' blade, yeah
I've got silver, in my pockets
I will follow the roving tradeWhiskey Nancy Whiskey, Whiskey Nancy-o
Whiskey Nancy Whiskey, Whiskey Nancy-oI walked out to Glasgow City
Nancy Whiskey I chanced to smell
I walked in I sat down beside her
Seven long years oh I knew her wellWhiskey Nancy Whiskey, Whiskey Nancy-o
Whiskey Nancy Whiskey, Whiskey Nancy-oThe more I kissed her, the more I loved her
The more I kissed her the more she smiled
I forgot my mother's teachings
Nancy soon had me beguiledWhiskey Nancy Whiskey, Whiskey Nancy-o
Whiskey Nancy Whiskey, Whiskey Nancy-oI awoke one early morning
To slake my thirst it was my need
Tried to rise but was not able
Nancy had me by the kneesCome on you weavers
You Carlton weavers
Weavers, where ever you be, yeah

Beware of whiskey, Nancy Whiskey
She'll ruin you like she blinded meWhiskey Nancy Whiskey, Whiskey Nancy-o
Whiskey Nancy Whiskey, Whiskey Nancy-o
Whiskey Nancy Whiskey, Whiskey Nancy-o
Whiskey Nancy Whiskey, Whiskey Nancy-o

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

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.
