the dubliners – nancy whiskey lyrics
chorus:
whiskey, whiskey, nancy whiskey
whiskey, whiskey, nancy-o
i am a weaver, a calton weaver, i am a rash and a roving blade
i’ve got silver in my pouches and i’ll gang follow the roving trade
chorus
as i come in by glasgow city, nancy whiskey i chanced tae smell
so i gane in, sat doon beside her, seeven lang years i loved her well
chorus
the mair i kissed her, the mair i looed her, the mair i looed her, the mair she smiled
and i forgot my mother’s teachin’, nancy soon had me beguiled
chorus
i woke up early in the mornin’, to slake ma drouth, it was ma need
i tried to rise but i was nae able, for nancy had me by the heid
chorus
“come awa, landlady, and what’s the reck’nin’, tell me what i have to pay”
“fifteen shillin’s is the reck’nin’, pay me quickly and go away”
chorus
as i went oot by glasgow city, nancy whiskey i chanced tae smell
i git in, drank four and six pence and all was left was a crooked scale
chorus
i’ll gang back to the calton weavin’, i surely make the shuttles fly
for i’ll mak more at the calton weavin’, then ever i did in the rovin’ trade
chorus
come all ye weavers, calton weavers, and all ye weavers, where e’er you be
beware of whiskey, nancy whiskey, she’ll ruin you as she ruined me
chorus 2x
