Subject: LYR ADD: Nancy Whisky
Here's the Nancy I know

I'm a weaver a calton weaver
I am a rash and a rovin' blade
I've got silver in my pocket
And I follow the rovin' trade

Chours: Whisky, Whisky, Nancy Whisky
Whisky, Whisky, Nancy Oh!,
Whisky, Whisky, Nancy Whisky
Whisky, Whisky, Nancy Oh!

As I went in through Glasgow City
Nancy Whiskey I chaced to smell
I went in sat down beside her
Seven long years I've loved her well

Chorus:

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 teachin'
Nancy soon had me beguiled

Chorus:

Now as I arose early in the mornin'
To slack my thrist it was my need
I tried to rise but I was not able
Nancy had me by the knees

Chorus:

So I'm goin' back to the Calton weavin'
I'll surly make them shuttles fly
For I made more at the Calton weavin'
Then ever I did in the rovin' way

Chorus:

So come all ye weaver's you Calton weaver's
Come all you weaver's were ere you be
Beware of Whisky, Nancy Whisky
She'll rune you like she ruined me

Chorus:
