(C) Whisky, whisky, (F) Nancy (G)Whisky, (C)Whisky, whisky, (G) Nancy (C) O' As I gaed in by Glasgow city, Nancy whisky I chanced tae smell. I went in, sat doon beside her, Seven long years I loved her well. The mair I kissed her, the mair I loved her, The mair I kissed her, the mair she smiled, An I forgot my mither's teaching, Nancy soon had me beguiled. I rose early in the morning, For my drouth, it was my need. I tried tae rise, but I wasna able, Nancy had me by the heid. C'wa landlady, whit's the law then, Tell me whit there is tae pey? Fifteen shillings is the reckoning, Tell me now, then go away! As I gaed oot by Glasgow city, Nancy whisky I chanced tae smell. I went in, spent four and sixpence, All I got wis a crooked spell. Sae I'll gan back tae the Calton Weaving, I will mak' they shuttles fly. An I'll mak' mair at the Calton weaving, Than I ever did in a roving way. C'm all ye weavers, ye Calton weavers, C'm all ye weavers, wherever ye be, Bewave o whisky, Nancy whisky, She'll ruin you, like she ruined me.
