Nancy Whiskey (Whisky) first appeared in print the early 1900s. It also appears as Long Cookstown and The Dublin Weaver. Nancy Whiskey does not refer to a woman, but to the drink. There are two other versions at this site: |
As I walked into Glasgow City Nancy Whiskey I chanced to spy I walked in, sat down beside her Seven long years spent by her side. Whiskey, Whiskey, Nancy Whiskey Whiskey, Whiskey, Nancy-O I've got silver in my pockets And I'm going to follow wherever you go. The more I kissed her, the more I loved her The more I kissed her, the more she smiled I forgot my mother's warning Nancy soon had me beguiled. Whiskey, Whiskey, Nancy Whiskey Whiskey, Whiskey, Nancy-O I've got silver in my pockets And I'm going to follow wherever you go. As I walked down through Glasgow City With a heavy heavy heart and an achin' pain So many men all courtin' Nancy I'll not leave that lass again. Chorus Whiskey, Whiskey, Nancy Whiskey Whiskey, Whiskey, Nancy-O I've got silver in my pockets And I'm going to follow wherever you go. And repeat last two lines. |
