I am a weaver a Carleton Weaver
I am a rash and a roving blade
I've got money in my pocket
And I'm going to follow the roving trade
Whisky, Whisky, Nancy Whiskey
Whisky, Whisky Nancy-o.
As I went in to Glasgow City
Nancy Whisky I chanced to smell
I went in and sat down beside her
Seven long years I looked her well
Whisky, Whisky, Nancy Whiskey
Whisky, Whisky Nancy-o.
As I went in to Glasgow City
Nancy Whisky I chanced to smell
I went in and sat down beside her
Seven long years I looked her well
The more I kissed her the more I loved her.
The more I kissed her the more she smiled.
Soon I forgot my mother's teaching,
Nancy had me soon beguiled.
Whisky, Whisky, Nancy Whiskey
Whisky, Whisky Nancy-o.
As I went in to Glasgow City
Nancy Whisky I chanced to smell
I went in and sat down beside her
Seven long years I looked her well
Now I arose early in the morning
To wet my thirst it was my need
I tried to rise but I was not able
Nancy had me by the knees
Whisky, Whisky, Nancy Whiskey
Whisky, Whisky Nancy-o.
As I went in to Glasgow City
Nancy Whisky I chanced to smell
I went in and sat down beside her
Seven long years I looked her well
Well I'm going back to the Carleton weaving,
I'll surely make those shuttles fly,
For I made more at the Carleton weaving
Than ever I did at the roving trade
Whisky, Whisky, Nancy Whiskey
Whisky, Whisky Nancy-o.
As I went in to Glasgow City
Nancy Whisky I chanced to smell
I went in and sat down beside her
Seven long years I looked her well
So come all you weavers;you Carleton weavers
Come all you weavers where ever you be.
Beware of Whisky Nancy Whisky
She'll ruin you like she ruined me.
Whisky, Whisky, Nancy Whiskey
Whisky, Whisky Nancy-o.
As I went in to Glasgow City
Nancy Whisky I chanced to smell
I went in and sat down beside her
Seven long years I looked her well
