Nancy

At eight o'clock at neet
I went a courtin' Nancy.
She come t' garden gate
And said I weren't her fancy.

CHORUS
Toll de roll de ray
Toll de roll de raddy
Toll de roll de ray
Toll de roll de rad dy.

Moon were shinin' bright
Roses blossomed sweetly.
Aw asked her how it was
She'd changed her mind completely.

"Not I indeed", she says,
"Will wisdom ne'er o'ertake thee?
Aw nobbut went wi' thee
Cos nob'dy else 'ud ax me!

"But now there's Edwin James
He works at Aaron Windle's
He gets two pounds a week
For grindin' weavers' spindles.

He axt me t'other neet
To take a walk in t' dingle
An' now Aw'm certain sure
A winnot long be single."

Her hand dropped out o' mine.
These words were like a dagger.
Aw went dahn t' lane that neet
But not wi' such a swagger.

An' when Aw get me home
Aw couldn't help but mutter
If this is woman's love
It's time Aw had me supper.
