andy irvine - longford weaver lyrics
these five long quarters i have been weaving
and for me weaving 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 into a little alehouse
begged nancy’s pardon for makin free
and nancy met me at every corner
you’re hearty welcome, young man says she
wе both sat down at a little table
we lookеd at each other a little while
we both sat down at a little table
and nancy’s whiskey it did beguile
i found meself then in a little parlor
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 what 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 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
