These five long quarters I have been weavin' And for me weavin' I was paid down I bought a shirt in the foremost fashion All for to walk up through Longford town I walked up and through Longford city Where Nancy's whiskey I chanced to smell I thought it fun for to go and taste it These five long quarters I've liked it well I entered in to a little alehouse Begged Nancy's pardon for making free And Nancy met me at every corner Your hearty welcome young man says she We both sat down at a little table We looked at other a little while We both sat down at a little table And Nancy's whiskey it did me beguile I found meself then in a little parlour I found meself then in a little bed I tried to rise but I was not able For Nancy's whiskey it held down me head When I arose aye the following morning I asked the reckoning I had to pay It's fifteen shillings for ale and porter Come pay it quickly now and get away I put me hand all in me pocket The ready money I laid it down It's fifteen shillings for ale and porter And all remaining was a half a crown Well I looked up I looked out a window Where there a fair maid I chanced to spy I called her in we spent two and two pence And all remaining was a crooked boy I put the money out on the table Saying I'll leave this money out with the rest And I'll drink a health to every young man And the wee lassie that I love best And I'll go home I'll begin me weavin' I'll steer me shuttle another while And if I live to another season It's Nancy's whiskey will not me beguile
