about

One of the first songs we learned as a band, we hope we've done the ol' gal justice on this one.

lyrics

NANCY WHISKEY:

I am a weaver, a Carlton weaver.
I am a brash and a roving blade.
I will wander where I wish to
And I follow a roving trade

Whiskey whiskey Nancy whiskey
Whiskey whiskey Nancy-o
Whiskey whiskey Nancy whiskey
Whiskey whiskey Nancy-o

As I walked into Glasgow city.
Nancy Whiskey I chanced to smell.
I walked in, sat down beside her.
Seven long years I loved her well.

Whiskey whiskey Nancy whiskey
Whiskey whiskey Nancy-o
Whiskey whiskey Nancy whiskey
Whiskey whiskey Nancy-o

The more I kissed her, the more I loved her.
The more I kissed her, the more she smiled.
I forgot my mother's teaching,
Nancy soon had me beguiled.

Now I rose early in the mornin',
To slake my thirst, it was my need.
I tried to rise but was not able.
Nancy had me by the knees.

Whiskey whiskey Nancy whiskey
Whiskey whiskey Nancy-o
Whiskey whiskey Nancy whiskey
Whiskey whiskey Nancy-o

So I’m going back to Carlton weaving;
I’ll really make those shuttles fly.
I'll make more at the Carlton weaving
than I did in a roving way.

So come ye weavers, ye Carlton weavers,
Weavers, where e're ye be.
Beware of Whiskey, Nancy Whiskey.
She'll ruin you she blinded me!

Whiskey whiskey Nancy whiskey
Whiskey whiskey Nancy-o
Whiskey whiskey Nancy whiskey
Whiskey whiskey Nancy-o
