Nancy Whiskey - The Barley Boys

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
