"Caltan Weaver" lyrics
"Caltan Weaver"
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
