Nancy whisky I chanced tae smell.
Em     Bm        C      D
I went in, sat doon beside her,
G          Em      C         D7
Seven long years I loved her well.
[repeat chorus]


G          Em              C      D
The mair I kissed her, the mair I loved her,
G          Em              C        D
The mair I kissed her, the mair she smiled,
   Em   Bm     C        D
An I forgot my mither's teaching,
G     Em       C     D7
Nancy soon had me beguiled.
[repeat chorus]


G      Em    C      D

G      Em         C      D
For my drouth, it was my need.
  Em        Bm          C     D

Nancy had me by the heid.

G        Em    C          D
C'wa landlady, whit's the law then,
G       Em         C      D
Tell me whit there is tae pey?
Em      Bm        C      D
Fifteen shillings is the reckoning,
G       Em        C    D7
Pey me now, then go away!
[repeat chorus]


G         Em     C       D
As I gaed oot by Glasgow city,
G     Em        C          D
Nancy Whisky I chanced tae smell.
Em     Bm        C        D
I went in, spent four and sixpence,
G     Em        C       D7
All I got wis a crooked scale.
[repeat chorus]

She'll ruin you, like she ruined me.
