W:I am a weaver, a Calton weaver, I am a rash and a roving blade
W:I've got silver in my pouches and I'll gang follow the roving trade.

W:Chorus:
W:Whiskey, whiskey, Nancy Whiskey, whiskey, whiskey, Nancy-o.

W:As I come in by Glasgow city, Nancy Whiskey I chanced tae smell
W:So I gane in, sat doon beside her, seven lang years I loved her well.
W:
W:Chorus
W:
W:The mair I kissed her, the mair I loo'ed her, the mair I loo'ed her, the mair she smiled
W:And I forgot my mother's teaching, Nancy soon had me beguiled.
W:
W:Chorus
W:
W:I woke up early in the mornin', tae slake ma drouth it was ma need
W:I tried to rise, but was nae able, for Nancy had me by the heid.
W:
W:Chorus
W:
W:"Come on, landlady, what's the reck'nin', tell me what I have to pay"
W:"Fifteen shillin's is the reck'nin', pay me quickly and go away"
W:
W:Chorus
W:
W:As I went oot by Glasgow city, Nancy Whiskey I chanced tae smell
W:I git in, drank four and six pence and all was left was a crooked scale.
W:
W:Chorus
W:
W:I'll gang back to the Calton weavin', I surely make the shuttles fly
W:For I'll mak more at the Calton weavin', then ever I did in the rovin' trade.
W:
W:Chorus
W:
W:Come all ye weavers, Calton weavers, and all ye weavers, where e'er you be
W:Beware of Whiskey, Nancy Whiskey, she'll ruin you as she ruined me.
W:
W:Chorus
