Вступление
[Intro]
C F C
[Verse]
C
For three long quarters I was a-weaving
F
And for my wages I was paid down
C
And for to buy a new suit of clothing
C
I made my way into long Cookstown
[Verse]
Am C
But when I got to long Cookstown
Am
Nancy Whiskey I chanced to smell
C
Says I to myself, “I'll go and taste you
G C
For three long quarters I loved you well”
[Verse]
C
So I went into an ale tavern
F
And I begged pardon for making free
C
But Nancy met me at every corner
C
“You're heart'ly welcome, young man,” says she
[Verse]
Am C
When I awoke the next morning
Am
I found myself in a strange bed
C
I tried to rise, but I wasn't able
G C
For Nancy Whiskey held me by the head
[Verse]
C
So I went down to the landlady
F
To find what reckoning there was to pay
C
“It's fifteen shillings for ale and brandy
C
And after that you may go or stay”
[Verse]
Am C
I put my hand to my pocket
Am
That was the money I did lay down
C
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]
C
I put my head out of the window
F
A charming damsel I chanced to spy
C
With her I spent my two-and-tuppence
C
Till all remained was the fourp'nny boy
[Verse]
Am C
I will go back all to my weaving
Am
My little shuttle I will work awhile
C
And I will get some more pocket-money
G C
For Nancy Whiskey did me beguile
[Outro]
C F C Am C Am C G C
