Subject: Lyr: Longford Weaver
I have an old tape & can't get alot of the words off of it. It's a version of Nancy Whiskey & The Carlton Weaver. The tune isn't that close to either. The little bit I have starts as follows:

For five long quarters I've been weaving, For five long quarters without a spell, Till I went up to Longford City, Nancy Whiskey I chanced to smell I sat her down upon the table there we sat for quite awhile I sat her down upon the table & Nancy Whiskey did me beguile. no refrain Thanks, Barry
