  1. I'm a weaver, a Carlton weaver,
    I'm a rash and a roving blade,
    I've got siller in my pouches,
    I'll gang follow the roving trade.

    Nancy Whiskey I chanced to smell,
    So I gaed in, sat doon beside her,

    Whiskey, whiskey, Nancy~o

    She'll ruin you as she ruined me.

    Whiskey, whiskey, Nancy~o
