G Em C D I'm a weaver, a Calton weaver, G Em C D I'm a rash, and Roving Blade. Em Bm C D I've got siller in my pouches, G Em C D7 I gan tae follow the roving trade. [chorus] G Em C D Whisky, Whisky, Nancy Whisky, Em Bm D7 G Whisky, Whisky, Nancy O' G Em C D As I gaed in by Glasgow city, G Em C D Nancy whisky I chanced tae smell. Em Bm C D I went in, sat doon beside her, G Em C D7 Seven long years I loved her well. [repeat chorus] G Em C D The mair I kissed her, the mair I loved her, G Em C D The mair I kissed her, the mair she smiled, Em Bm C D An I forgot my mither's teaching, G Em C D7 Nancy soon had me beguiled. [repeat chorus] G Em C D I rose early in the morning, G Em C D For my drouth, it was my need. Em Bm C D I tried tae rise, but I wasna able, G Em C D7 Nancy had me by the heid. [repeat chorus] G Em C D C'wa landlady, whit's the law then, G Em C D Tell me whit there is tae pey? Em Bm C D Fifteen shillings is the reckoning, G Em C D7 Pey me now, then go away! [repeat chorus] G Em C D As I gaed oot by Glasgow city, G Em C D Nancy Whisky I chanced tae smell. Em Bm C D I went in, spent four and sixpence, G Em C D7 All I got wis a crooked scale. [repeat chorus] G Em C D Sae I'll gan back tae the Calton Weaving, G Em C D I will mak' they shuttles fly. Em Bm C D An I'll mak' mair at the Calton weaving, G Em C D7 Than e'er I did in a roving way. [repeat chorus] G Em C D C'm all ye weavers, ye Calton weavers, G Em C D C'm all ye weavers, where'er ye be, Em Bm C D Beware o whisky, Nancy Whisky, G Em C D7 She'll ruin you, like she ruined me.
