Caltan Weaver

Lyrics

I am a weaver, a Caltan weaver
 I am a rash and roving blade
 I've got silver in my pouches
 And I follow the roving trade
 Whiskey whiskey Nancy whiskey
 Whiskey whiskey Nancy-O
 I came in by Glasgow city
 Nancy whiskey I chanced to smell
 I went in sat down beside her
 Seven long years I loved her well
 Whiskey whiskey Nancy whiskey
 Whiskey whiskey Nancy-O
 The more I kissed her the more I loved her
 The more I loved her the more she smiled
 I forgot my mother's teaching
 Nancy soon had me beguiled
 Whiskey whiskey Nancy whiskey
 Whiskey whiskey Nancy-O
 When I awoke in the early morning
 To quench my thirst it was my need
 Tried to rise, but I wasnae able
 Nancy whiskey had me by the head
 Whiskey whiskey Nancy whiskey
 Whiskey whiskey Nancy-O
 ♪
 Come on landlady, what's me owin'
 Tell me what there is to pay
 Fifteen shillings is a reckonin'
 Pay me quickly and go away
 Whiskey whiskey Nancy whiskey
 Whiskey whiskey Nancy-O
 Come on you weavers you Caltan weavers
 Come all you young men where e'er you be
 Beware of whiskey, Nancy whiskey
 She'll ruin you like she ruined me
 Whiskey whiskey Nancy whiskey
 Whiskey whiskey Nancy-O
 Whiskey whiskey Nancy whiskey
 Whiskey whiskey Nancy-O
