As i went down through glasgow city
just to see what i might spy
what should i see but nancy whiskey
a playful twinkle in her eye
Whiskey, whiskey, nancy whiskey
whiskey, whiskey, nancy ohh
I bought her, i drank her, i had another
ran out of money, so i did steal
she ran me ragged, nancy whiskey
for seven years, a rollin' wheel
Whiskey, whiskey, nancy whiskey
whiskey, whiskey, nancy ohh
The more i held her, the more i loved her
nancy had her spell on me
all i knew was lovely nancy
the things i needed i could not see
Whiskey, whiskey, nancy whiskey
whiskey, whiskey, nancy ohh
As i awoke to slake my thirst
as i tried crawling from my bed
i fell down flat, i could not stagger
nancy had me by the legs
Whiskey, whiskey, nancy whiskey
whiskey, whiskey, nancy ohh
Come on landlandy, what's the owing
tell me what there is to pay
fifteen shillings that's the reckoning
now pay me quickly and go away
Whiskey, whiskey, nancy whiskey
whiskey, whiskey, nancy ohh
whiskey, whiskey, nancy whiskey
whiskey, whiskey, nancy ohh
