Lyrics

I am a weaver, a Caltan weaver

I am a rash and roving blade

I've got silver in my pouches

And I follow the roving trade

Whiskey whiskey Nancy whiskey

Whiskey whiskey Nancy-O

I came in by Glasgow city

Nancy whiskey I chanced to smell

I went in sat down beside her

Seven long years I loved her well

Whiskey whiskey Nancy whiskey

Whiskey whiskey Nancy-O

The more I kissed her the more I loved her

The more I loved her the more she smiled

I forgot my mother's teaching

Nancy soon had me beguiled

Whiskey whiskey Nancy whiskey

Whiskey whiskey Nancy-O

When I awoke in the early morning

To quench my thirst it was my need

Tried to rise, but I wasnae able

Nancy whiskey had me by the head

Whiskey whiskey Nancy whiskey

Whiskey whiskey Nancy-O

Come on landlady, what's me owin'

Tell me what there is to pay

Fifteen shillings is a reckonin'

Pay me quickly and go away

Whiskey whiskey Nancy whiskey

Whiskey whiskey Nancy-O

Come on you weavers you Caltan weavers

Come all you young men where e'er you be

Beware of whiskey, Nancy whiskey

She'll ruin you like she ruined me

Whiskey whiskey Nancy whiskey

Whiskey whiskey Nancy-O

Whiskey whiskey Nancy whiskey

Whiskey whiskey Nancy-O
