Subject: RE: Origins: Nancy Whiskey / Calton Weaver
Way too late here, I know, but I’m not sure where else to turn. I’m on the hunt for a very specific version of Nancy Whiskey. I visited Scotland for the first time with my wife in summer 2018 and we took a tour bus to various locales. The tour guide played a selection of Celtic music and one of the songs had a repeating refrain that is in my head to this day, yet all other versions I’ve found are too fast-paced. This one was more melancholy, almost like a church hymn and slightly altered lyrics from the popular version:

Oh, the whiskey…
Nancy’s whiskey.
Oh, the whiskey…
Nancy, oh!

Whiskey, whiskey…
Nancy’s whiskey.
Oh, the whiskey…
Nancy, oh!

Any help would be appreciated! I tend to renew my search for this song every now and then, but still no luck after three years.
