I am a weaver, a Carlton weaver
I am a brash and a roving blade
I will wander where I wish to
I will follow a roving trade

[Chorus]
Whiskey, whiskey, Nancy whiskey, whiskey, whiskey, Nancy, Oh

As I walked out into Glasgow city
Whiskey, whiskey I chanced to smell
I walked in, sat down beside her
Seven long years I loved her well
[Chorus]

The more I kissed her, the more I loved her
The more I kissed her the more she smiled
I forgot my mother's teachings
Nancy soon had me beguiled
[Chorus]

I'm going back to the Carlton weavers
I'll really make those shuttles fly
I'll make more at the Carlton weavin'
Than ever I'll need in a roving way
[Chorus]

So come all ye weavers, ye Carlton weavers
Weavers wheree'er ye be
Beware of whiskey, Nancy whiskey
She'll ruin you like she blinded me
[Chorus]
