As I went down through Glasgow City Nancy Whiskey I chanced to smell I went in, sat down beside her seven long years I loved her well
The more I kissed her, the more I loved her the more I kissed her, the more she smiled Soon I forgot my mother´s teaching Nancy soon had me beguiled
Now, I rose early in the morning to slake my thirst, it was my need I tried to rise but I was not able Nancy had me by the knees
So I´m going back to the Carlton weaving I´ll surely make them shuttles fly For I´ll make more at the Carlton weaving than ever I did in the roving way
So come all you weavers, you Carlton weavers come all you weavers, where e´er you be Beware of Whiskey, Nancy Whiskey she´ll ruin you like she ruined me
