Lyrics - Nancy Whiskey by Celtic Folk

Nancy
Whisky
I am a weaver a
Carleton
Weaver,
I am a rash and a roving blade
I've got money in my pocket and
I'm going to follow the roving trade
Chorus:
Whisky,
Whisky,
Nancy
Whiskey.
Whisky,
Whisky
Nancy-o.
As
I went in to
Glasgow
City,
Nancy
Whisky
I chanced to smell,
I went in and sat down beside her seven long years
I looked her well.cho.
The more
I kissed her the more
I loved her.
The more
I kissed her the more she smiled.
Soon
I forgot my mother's teaching,
Nancy had me soon beguiled.cho.
Now
I arose early in the morning to wet my thirst it was my need
I tried to rise but
I was not able,
Nancy had me by the knees.cho.
Well
I'm going back to the
Carleton weaving,
I'll surely make those shuttles fly,
For
I made more at the
Carleton weaving than ever
I did at the roving tradecho.
So come all you weavers;you
Carleton weavers
Come all you weavers where ever you be.
Beware of
Whisky
Nancy
Whisky,
She'll ruin you like she ruined me.cho.
