Nancy Whiskey Lyrics And Guitar Chords

A traditional Scottish song that made it's way to Ireland through the singing of The Dubliners and was later covered by Shane MacGowan And The Popes. Also recorded by Irish / American group Gaelic Storm. This version here is The Popes version except Shane sings it in the key of G Major but I sing it in the key of D Major. Tin Whistle Notes

As[D] I went down through [G]Glasgow [D]city
Just to see what I [G]might[A] spy
[D]What should I see but [G]Nancy[A] Whiskey
A [D]playful twinkle [G]in her [A]eye

[D]Whiskey, Whiskey,[A] Nancy[D] Whiskey
Whiskey, Whiskey,[A] Nancy [D]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
