nancy whiskey - tommy makem lyrics

i’m a weaver, a calton weaver
i’m a rash and a roving blade
i’ve got silver in my pocket
and i follow the roving trade
chorus:
whiskey, whiskey, nancy whiskey
whiskey, whiskey, nancy-o
as i rode in through glasgow city
nancy whiskey, i chanced to smell
i went in, sat down beside her
seven long years, i loved her well
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 soon had me beguiled
so i rose early in the morning
to slack my thirst, it was my need
i tried to rise, but i was not able
nancy had me by the knees
so, i’m going back to the calton weaving
i’ll surely make them shuttles fly
for i made more at the calton weaving
than ever i did in a roving way
so, come all you weavers, you calton weavers
come all you weavers, where’er you be
beware of whiskey, nancy whiskey
she’ll ruin you like she ruined me
