Lyrics:

Whiskey whiskay Nancy whiskey
Whiskey whiskay Nancy-o
Whiskey whiskay Nancy whiskey
Whiskey whiskay Nancy-o

(extended instrumental)

Whiskey whiskay Nancy whiskey
Whiskey whiskay Nancy-o
Whiskey whiskay Nancy whiskey
Whiskey whiskay Nancy-o

I am a weaver, a Calton weaver.
I am a brash and a roving blade.
I got silver in my britches.
And I follow a roving trade

Whiskey whiskay Nancy whiskey
Whiskey whiskay Nancy-o
Whiskey whiskay Nancy whiskey
Whiskey whiskay Nancy-o

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

Whiskey whiskay Nancy whiskey
Whiskey whiskay Nancy-o
Whiskey whiskay Nancy whiskey
Whiskey whiskay Nancy-o

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

Whiskey whiskay Nancy whiskey
Whiskey whiskay Nancy-o
Whiskey whiskay Nancy whiskey
Whiskey whiskay Nancy-o

Woke up early in the mornin',
lying half way off the bed.
I tried to rise but was not able.
Nancy damn near knocked me dead.

Whiskey whiskay Nancy whiskey
Whiskey whiskay Nancy-o
Whiskey whiskay Nancy whiskey
Whiskey whiskay Nancy-o

I'll gang back to the Calton weaving;
surely make those shuttles fly.
I'll make more at the Calton weaving
than ever I did at the roving way.

Whiskey whiskay Nancy whiskey
Whiskey whiskay Nancy-o
Whiskey whiskay Nancy whiskey
Whiskey whiskay Nancy-o

all ye weavers, ye Calton weavers,
all ye weavers where e're ye be.
Beware of Whiskey, Nancy Whiskey.
She'll ruin you she ruined me!

Whiskey whiskay Nancy whiskey
Whiskey whiskay Nancy-o
Whiskey whiskay Nancy whiskey
Whiskey whiskay Nancy-o

Whiskey whiskay Nancy whiskey
Whiskey whiskaaay-o
Whiskey whiskay Nancy whiskey
Whiskey whiskay Nancy-o

Whiskey whiskay Nancy whiskey
Whiskey whiskaaay-o
Whiskey whiskay Nancy whiskey
Whiskey whiskay Nancy-o

Whiskey whiskay Nancy whiskey
Whiskey whiskay Nancy-o
