Nancy Whiskey
G C D
O, seven long years have I have been weaving
G C D
A weaving me a new suit of clothes
G C D
And so when I saved me a little money
G C D
I took a ramble as you may suppose.
Chorus
G C D
O whiskey, whiskey, Nancy Whiskey
G D C
Whiskey, whiskey, Nancy-o.
G C D
As I was going up fair London city
G C D
Young Nancy Whisky I chanced to smell
G C D
So I thought it proper to call and see her
G C D
For seven long years I had loved her well CHORUS
G C D
I stepped up boldly, knocked at her window
G C D
And asked her pardon for being so free,
G C D
She said: Young man, you are kindly welcome
G C D
Come in, sit down and keep me company CHORUS
G C D
And when I woke all in the morning
G C D
I found myself on some strange bed
G C D
I tried to dress but I was not able
G C D
For Nancy Whisky had me by the head CHORUS
G C D
I boldly call-ed for the waitress
G C D
And what's the reckoning I have to pay?
G C D
Thirty shillings and a sixpence
G C D
Come pay it down and go your way CHORUS
G C D
I put my hand all in my pocket
G C D
And I paid it down in ready coin
G C D
And when I'd paid out all her reckoning
G C D
It brought my store down to one half-crown CHORUS
G C D
As I went down fair London city
G C D
I chanced to meet with a gentleman
G C D
Along with him I spent two and tuppence
G C D
Which brought me down to one four-pence CHORUS
G C D
All I've left now is that one four-pence
G C D
The very last of my precious store
G C D
I'll go back and see my Nancy
G C D
Then I'll go home and work for more CHORUS
G C D
Then I'll go back unto my weaving
G C D
And there I'll work for seven long years
G C D
And if I live for another seven
G C D
I'll go back any find my Nancy dear CHORUS
G C D
So come all you weavers now take a warning
G C D
When you leave off working at the loom
G C D
For of all the girls in London city
G C D
Young Nancy Whisky will prove your ruin. CHORUS
