I'm a weaver, a Calton weaver

I'm a rash and a roving blade

I've got silver in my pocket

And I follow the roving trade

Chorus:

Whiskey, whiskey, Nancy Whiskey

Whiskey, whiskey, Nancy-o

As I rode in through Glasgow city

Nancy Whiskey, I chanced to smell

I went in, sat down beside her

Seven long years, I loved her well

The more I kissed her, the more I loved her

The more I kissed her, the more she smiled

Soon I forgot my mother's teaching

Nancy soon had me beguiled

So I rose early in the morning

To slack my thirst, it was my need

I tried to rise, but I was not able

Nancy had me by the knees

So, I'm going back to the Calton weaving

I'll surely make them shuttles fly

For I made more at the Calton weaving

Than ever I did in a roving way

So, come all you weavers, you Calton weavers

Come all you weavers, where'er you be

Beware of whiskey, Nancy Whiskey

She'll ruin you like she ruined me

Me too. A lot. I remember being a real little kid and my Dad singin' along to all of these songs with the record but especially the title track. He'd say, "C'mon!, Sing!" To, "Always remember the longer ya live, the sooner ya bloody well die". A bit appaulled, I replied, 'no thanks'. He said, "You'll understand when you get older". I'll be damned. He was sure right alright.

Thanks for posting this song from this great long lost album. I'd forgotten this was on the album and now remember how great it is.

I like this, but I enjoy the spark of the live recordings a little better. Still, this is great, especially to get all the words and chords. Well done lads-rest in peace!

They'll be sorely missed. Wish I could have seen them in concert, but I w'm too young to have caught them when they were all in their prime.

Jesus died for you to keep you out of Hell. You can run from the truth but God has time to wait - you do not. God calls atheists fools. "The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity: there is none that doeth good." Psa. 53:1; 2:1 Faith is trusting God to do as He has promised.

I know what you mean, but search for the live version by Tommy and Liam in concert - its much better. I think whats wrong with this one is there's no heart and no humour.
