[Verse]
E                A
I am a weaver, a Caltan weaver
E               C#m    B
I am a rash and roving blade
C#m                A
I've got silver in my pouches
E                C#m    B
And I follow the roving trade
E            A
I came in by Glasgow city
E               C#m        B
Nancy whiskey I chanced to smell
C#m           A
I went in sat down beside her
E                  C#m       B
Seven long years I loved her well


[Chorus]
  E              A

[Verse]
     E                     A
The more I kissed her the more I loved her
     E                    C#m       B
The more I loved her the more she smiled
C#m          A
I forgot my mother's teaching
 E              C#m     B
Nancy soon had me beguiled
     E               A
When I awoke in the early morning
E                      C#m     B
To quench my thirst it was my need
C#m                A
Tried to rise, but I wasnae able
 E                   C#m     B
Nancy whiskey had me by the head

 E                C#m     B
Tell me what there is to pay
C#m                A
