[Intro]
C     F  C
[Verse]
CFor three long quarters I was a-weaving
And for my Fwages I was paid down
And for to Cbuy a new suit of clothing
CI made my way into long Cookstown
[Verse]
But when I Amgot to long CCookstown
Nancy Whiskey I chanced to Amsmell
Says I to Cmyself, “I'll go and taste you
For three long quarters GI loved you Cwell”
[Verse]
CSo I went into an ale tavern
And I begged pardon for making Ffree
But Nancy Cmet me at every corner
C“You're heart'ly welcome, young man,” says she
[Verse]
When I aAmwoke the next Cmorning
I found myself in a strange Ambed
I tried to Crise, but I wasn't able
For Nancy Whiskey held Gme by the Chead
[Verse]
CSo I went down to the landlady
To find what reckoning there was to Fpay
“It's fifteen Cshillings for ale and brandy
CAnd after that you may go or stay”
[Verse]
I put my Amhand to my Cpocket
That was the money I did lay Amdown
On looking Cback into my small purse
All that remained was a Gbare half-Ccrown
[Instrumental]
C      F  C     Am   C    Am  C    G  C
[Verse]
CI put my head out of the window
A charming damsel I chanced to Fspy
With her I Cspent my two-and-tuppence
CTill all remained was the fourp'nny boy
[Verse]
I will go Amback all to my Cweaving
My little shuttle I will work aAmwhile
And I will Cget some more pocket-money
For Nancy Whiskey Gdid me beCguile
[Outro]
C      F  C     Am   C    Am  C    G  C

[Intro]

C F C

[Verse]

For three long quarters I was a-weaving

And for my wages I was paid down

And for to buy a new suit of clothing

I made my way into long Cookstown

[Verse]

Am C

But when I got to long Cookstown

Nancy Whiskey I chanced to smell

Says I to myself, “I'll go and taste you

G C

For three long quarters I loved you well”

[Verse]

So I went into an ale tavern

And I begged pardon for making free

But Nancy met me at every corner

“You're heart'ly welcome, young man,” says she

[Verse]

Am C

When I awoke the next morning

I found myself in a strange bed

I tried to rise, but I wasn't able

G C

For Nancy Whiskey held me by the head

[Verse]

So I went down to the landlady

To find what reckoning there was to pay

“It's fifteen shillings for ale and brandy

And after that you may go or stay”

[Verse]

Am C

I put my hand to my pocket

That was the money I did lay down

On looking back into my small purse

G C

All that remained was a bare half-crown

[Instrumental]

C F C Am C Am C G C

[Verse]

I put my head out of the window

A charming damsel I chanced to spy

With her I spent my two-and-tuppence

Till all remained was the fourp'nny boy

[Verse]

Am C

I will go back all to my weaving

My little shuttle I will work awhile

And I will get some more pocket-money

G C

For Nancy Whiskey did me beguile

[Outro]
