F Am F G I'm a weaver, a Calton weaver, F Am F G I'm a rash, and Roving Blade. Am Em F G I've got siller in my pouches, F Am F G7 I gan tae follow the roving trade.
[chorus]
F Am F G Whisky, Whisky, Nancy Whisky, Am Em G7 F Whisky, Whisky, Nancy O' F Am F G As I gaed in by Glasgow city, F Am F G Nancy whisky I chanced tae smell. Am Em F G I went in, sat doon beside her, F Am F G7 Seven long years I loved her well.
[repeat chorus]
F Am F G The mair I kissed her, the mair I loved her, F Am F G The mair I kissed her, the mair she smiled, Am Em F G An I forgot my mither's teaching, F Am F G7 Nancy soon had me beguiled.
[repeat chorus]
F Am F G I rose early in the morning, F Am F G For my drouth, it was my need. Am Em F G I tried tae rise, but I wasna able, F Am F G7 Nancy had me by the heid.
