Nancy Whiskey from Band O'Brothers by Band O'Brothers

NANCY WHISKEY:

I am a weaver, a Carlton weaver.
I am a brash and a roving blade.
I will wander where I wish to
And I follow a roving trade

As I walked into Glasgow city.
Nancy Whiskey I chanced to smell.
I walked in, sat down beside her.
Seven long years I loved her well.

The more I kissed her, the more I loved her.
The more I kissed her, the more she smiled.
I forgot my mother's teaching,
Nancy soon had me beguiled.

Now I rose early in the mornin',
To slake my thirst, it was my need.
I tried to rise but was not able.
Nancy had me by the knees.

So I’m going back to Carlton weaving;
I’ll really make those shuttles fly.
I'll make more at the Carlton weaving
than I did in a roving way.

So come ye weavers, ye Carlton weavers,
Weavers, where e're ye be.
Beware of Whiskey, Nancy Whiskey.
She'll ruin you she blinded me!
