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

As I come in by Glasgow city
Nancy Whiskey I chanced tae smell
So I gane in sat doon beside her
Seeven lang years I loved her well
Whiskey whiskey Nancy whiskey
Whiskey whiskey Nancy-o
The mair I kissed her the mair I looed her
The mair I looed her the mair she smiled
And I forgot my mother's teaching
Nancy soon had me beguiled
Whiskey whiskey Nancy whiskey
Whiskey whiskey Nancy-o
I woke up early in the mornin'
Tae slake ma drouth it was ma need
I tried to rise but was nae able
For Nancy had me by the heid
Whiskey whiskey Nancy whiskey

"Come on landlady what's the reck'nin'
Tell me what I have to pay"
"Fifteen shillin's is the reck'nin'
Pay me quickly and go away"

As I went oot by Glasgow city
Nancy Whiskey I chanced tae smell
I git in drank four and six pence and
All was left was a crooked scale
Whiskey whiskey Nancy whiskey

I'll gang back to the Calton weavin'
I surely make the shuttles fly
For I'll mak more at the Calton weavin'
Then ever I did in the rovin' trade

Come all ye weavers Calton weavers
And all ye weavers where e'er you be
Beware of Whiskey Nancy Whiskey
