The Highwaymen (Folk)
The Calton Weaver
[Verse 1]
Well, I am a weaver, a Calton weaver
I am a rash and a rovin' blade
I've got silver in my pouches
I'll gang and follow the rovin' trade

[Chorus]
Whiskey, whiskey, Nancy Whiskey
Whiskey, whiskey, Nancy-o

[Verse 2]
As I come in by Glasgow city
Nancy Whiskey I chanced to smell
I gait in, sat doon beside her
Seven long years I loved her well

[Chorus]
Whiskey, whiskey, Nancy Whiskey
Whiskey, whiskey, Nancy-o

[Verse 3]
The more I kissed her, the more I loved her
Thе more I kissed her, thе more she smiled
And I forgot my mother's teachin'
Nancy Whiskey had me beguiled
[Chorus]
Whiskey, whiskey, Nancy Whiskey
Whiskey, whiskey, Nancy-o

[Verse 4]
I rose early in the mornin'
To slake my drought, it was my need
I tried to rise but I was not able
Nancy Whiskey had me by the heid

[Chorus]
Whiskey, whiskey, Nancy Whiskey
Whiskey, whiskey, Nancy-o

[Verse 5]
Come on, landlady, what's the owin'?
Tell me what there is to pay
"Fifteen shillin's is the reck'nin'
Pay me quickly and go away"

[Chorus]
Whiskey, whiskey, Nancy Whiskey
Whiskey, whiskey, Nancy-o

[Verse 6]
Come all ye weavers, ye Calton weavers
Come all ye weavers where'er you be
Beware of whiskey, Nancy Whiskey
She'll ruin you as she ruined me (Well)
[Chorus]
Whiskey, whiskey, Nancy Whiskey
Whiskey, whiskey, Nancy-o (One more time)

[Chorus]
Whiskey, whiskey, Nancy Whiskey
Whiskey, whiskey, Nancy-o
