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.

Down etc x4

Chorus
