Subject: Nancy shanty
I have five verses to this song and can’t find any more.
The chorus is I wish I was with Nancy aye oh aye oh, on the second floor with two bob more I’d live and die with Nancy Aye oh, aye oh, I’d live and die with Nancy.
Oh the things that put my heart all a flutter where her Balmoral boots as she cruised through the gutter.
Down the Strand, down the Strand, down the Strand, down the Strand.
Chorus
Oh I wish I was in the land of cotton, tickling up the old girls bottom
Down the Strand x 4
Chorus
Oh we’re outward bound my. Nancy dear, we’ll leave you girls and be back next year.
Down the Strand x4
Chorus
Oh Nancy girl don’t be glum on white stocking day well drink hot rum.
Down etc x4
Chorus
And we get to Columbias shore of the girls back home we’ll think no more.
