	Story Behind the Song A traditional song with versions collected in both Ireland and Scotland. It tells of the potential danger of the demon drink, when consumed regularly in vast quantities! Thanks must go here to The Ralph Vaughan Williams Memorial Library at Cecil Sharp House, London, for the various texts which make up the lyrics for this version. Lyrics Nancy Whiskey (original trad. lyric) As I went down through Glasgow city Nancy Whiskey I chanced to smell And I went in for to see my Nancy It's seven long years since I loved her well Whiskey Whiskey Nancy Whiskey Whiskey Whiskey, Nancy-Oh! Nancy Whiskey jumped on the table, says "You're welcome here young man" to me. Nancy Whiskey jumped in the tumbler says "You're welcome here, young Jack McGhee." Whiskey Whiskey Nancy Whiskey Whiskey Whiskey, Nancy-Oh! The more I kissed her, the more I loved her The more upon me she did smile. The more I kissed her, the more I loved her Till Nancy Whiskey did me beguile Whiskey Whiskey Nancy Whiskey Whiskey Whiskey, Nancy-Oh! In the morning when I awoke I found myself in a stranger's bed I tried to rise, but I was not able For Nancy Whiskey held down my head Whiskey Whiskey Nancy Whiskey Whiskey Whiskey, Nancy-Oh! Down the stairs came the landlady I asked her what there was to pay "Just fifty shillings with bygone reckonings So pay your money and go your way" Whiskey Whiskey Nancy Whiskey Whiskey Whiskey, Nancy-Oh! Whiskey Whiskey Nancy Whiskey Whiskey Whiskey, Nancy-Oh!
