Lyrics:

Well I am a weaver, a Carlton weaver,
I am a rash and rovin' blade.
I love silver in my pockets
And I follow the rovin' trade.
Chorus
Whiskey, Whiskey, Nancy Whiskey,
Whiskey Whiskey Nancy-O
As I came down through Glasgow City,
Nancy Whiskey I chanced to smell.
I walked in and sat down beside her,
Seven long years I loved her well.
Chorus
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
Chorus
As I rose early on one morning
To slake my thirst it was my need,
I tried to rise but I was not able,
Nancy had me by the knees.
Chorus
So I'll go back to the Carlton weavin',
I'll surely make those shuttles fly.
I'll earn more at the Carlton weavin'
Than e're I made in the rovin' trade.
Chorus
So come all you weavers, you Carlton weavers
Weavers where 'ere you be,
Beware of Whiskey, Nancy Whiskey,
She'll ruin you like she ruined me.
Chorus
