    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!
