^^ FOUR O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING

Oh, Nancy, dear Nancy, please open the door.
It's four o'clock in the morning.
My head it is aching; my back it is sore
And the daylight is fairly dawning.

Ah Johnny, dear Johnny, now where have you been
'Til four o'clock in the morning?
Were you out drinking whisky or out drinking gin
'Til the daylight was fairly dawning?

Oh, no, I was not drinking whisky or gin
'Til four o'clock in the morning,
So come down the stairs now and let me come in
for the daylight is fairly dawning.

Or were you out dancing with some other girl
'Til four o'clock in the morning?
In her bonnie plaid shawl and her hair all in curls
'Til the daylight was fairly dawning?

Ah, yes, I was dancing with some other girl
'Til four o'clock in the morning
In her bonnie plaid shawl and her hair up in curls
'Til the daylight was fairly dawning.

Then Johnny, dear Johnny, I won't let you in.
It's four o'clock in the morning.
And I swear by my life not to see you again
When the daylight is fairly dawning.

Ah, Nancy, dear Nancy's the bane of my life
At four o'clock in the morning
So I might as well just go on home to my wife
For the daylight is fairly dawning.

So all you bold drinkers who rove on the town
'Til four o'clock in the morning
Be true to your mistress and don't fool around
When the daylight is fairly dawning.

Love his song "The Hill of Margaree". Maybe because my ancestors were from there.

Het, great song for singing in the middle of the night at festival campsites this summer. It'll make a change from "Four In The Morning". Thanks!

Should maybe try out "The Lingerie Song" at four in the morning. I can't think of a worse possible earworm.
