Nancy - Trad.
Recorded live at Edinburgh Festival Fringe - Stramash Edinburgh by The Mad Ferret Band

lyrics

Well, there's a woman in our town
A woman you ought to know well
She dearly loved her husband
And another man twice as well
With me right finnickineerio
Oh me tip finnick a wall
With me right finnickineerio
We're tipping it up to Nancy

She went down to the chemist shop
Some remedies for to buy,
Have you anything in your shop
To make me old man blind?
With me right finnickineerio
Oh me tip finnick a wall
With me right finnickineerio
We're tipping it up to Nancy

Give him eggs and marrowbones
And make him suck them all
Before he has the last one sucked
He won't see you at all
With me right finnickineerio
Oh me tip finnick a wall
With me right finnickineerio
We're tipping it up to Nancy

So she gave him eggs and marrowbones
And made him suck them all
And before he had the last one sucked
He couldn't see her at all
With me right finnickineerio
Oh me tip finnick a wall
With me right finnickineerio
We're tipping it up to Nancy

She dragged him to the river
Dragged him to the brim
But sly enough of Martin
It was him that shoved her in
With me right finnickineerio
Oh me tip finnick a wall
With me right finnickineerio
We're tipping it up to Nancy

There's nine in me family
And none of them is my own
I wish that each and every man
Would come and claim his own
With me right finnickineerio
Oh me tip finnick a wall
With me right finnickineerio
We're tipping it up to Nancy ... NANCY!!!
