[Verse 1]
[C]I'm a weaver, a calton weaver,
I'm a ration roving [G]blade,
[C]I've got silver in my poochies,
I'll gang follow the roving [G]trade.
Oh, [C]whisky, whisky, Nancy,
[G]whisky, [C]whisky, whisky, [G]Nancy, [C]oh.
As I came in Big Glasgow [G]City, [C]Nancy,
whisky, a chance to smell,
I gave in Saddon beside her,
seven long years I loved her [G]well.
Oh, [C]whisky, whisky, Nancy,
whisky, whisky, whisky, [G]Nancy, [C]oh!
The more I kissed her, the more I [G]looed her,
The [C]more I kissed her,
the more she smiled.
I forgot my mother's [G]teaching,
[C]and she soon had me beguiled.
[G]Oh, whi[C]sky, whisky, Nancy,
whisky, whisky, whisky, Nancy, oh!
I woke early in the morning
to slake my druth,
it wis my need.
I tried to rise, but I wasnae able,
Nancy had me by the [G]heed
Oh, [C]whisky, whisky, Nancy,
whisky, whisky, whisky, Nancy, oh
Come on then,
lady, what's the law,
and tell me what that is to pay
Fifteen shillin' is the reckoning,
pay me quickly and go away
[G]Oh, [C]whisky, whisky, Nancy, whisky,
whisky, whisky, [G]Nancy, [C]oh
As I went to Big Glasgow [G]City, [C]Nancy
Whiskey a -chance to smell a -gaiden,
drank four and six,
when sort was left was a crooked scale,
Oh, Whiskey, Whiskey, Nancy,
[G]Whiskey, [C]Whiskey, Whiskey,
[G]Nancy, [C]oh.
I'll gang back to the cart and weave,
and I'll surely make the shuttles [G]fly,
[C]I'll make mare of the cart and [G]weave,
and the [C]never -a -dead in a roving [G]way,
Oh, [C]Whiskey, Whiskey, Nancy,
Whisky, Whisky [G]Nancy, [C]oh!
Come all ye weavers, calton weavers,

Beware of Whisky Nancy,
Whisky shall ruin you,

Whisky, Whisky Nancy, Whisky,
Whisky, Whisky Nancy, oh!
Whisky, Whisky Nancy, Whisky,
Whisky, Whisky
Nancy, oh!
