Here's the version I do. It's a composite of the version I learned from Ian and Sylvia and the one in the DT.

Whiskey, whiskey, Nancy OAs I walked out into Glasgow city, Nancy Whiskey I chanced to smell.
I walked in and I sat down beside her. Seven long years I loved her well.chorus
The mair I kissed her, the mair I loved her.
The mair I kissed her, the mair she smiled.
I forgot my mother's teaching;
Nancy soon had me beguiled.chorus
I woke early in the mornin'.
Tae slake ma drought it was my need.
I tried to rise but was not able;
Nancy kicked me in the heid.chorus
"Come, landlady, noo, what's that lawin'?
Tell me what there is tae pay."
"Fifteen shillings is the reck'ning.
Noo pay me quickly and go away!"chorus
I'll gang back to the Calton weaving,
I'll surely mak' those shuttles fly.
I'll mak more at the Calton weaving
Than ever I did in a roving way.chorus
C Am F G
So come all ye weavers, ye Calton weavers,
C F G
Weavers where e'er ye be,
F C F G
Beware of whiskey, Nancy Whiskey.
C Am F G
She'll ruin you like she blinded me.
