[verse 1]
for three long quarters i was a-weaving
and for my wages i was paid down
and for to buy a new suit of clothing
i made my way into long cookstown

[verse 2]
but when i got to long cookstown
nancy whiskey i chanced to smell;
says i to myself, “i’ll go and taste you
for three long quarters i loved you well.”

[verse 3]
so i went into an ale tavern
and i begged pardon for making free
but nancy met me at every corner
“you’re heart’ly welcome, young man,” says she

[verse 4]
when i awoke the next morning
i found myself in a strange bed
i tried to rise, but i wasn’t able
for nancy whiskey held me by thе head

[verse 5]
so i went down to the landlady
to find what rеckoning there was to pay;
“it’s fifteen shillings for ale and brandy
and after that you may go or stay.”
[verse 6]
i put my hand in my pocket
that was the money i did lay down;
on looking back into my small purse
all that remained was a bare half-crown

[instrumental break]

[verse 7]
i put my head out of a window
a charming damsel i chanced to spy;
with her i spent my two and tuppence
till all remained was the fourp’nny boy

[verse 8]
so i’ll go back all to my weaving
my little shuttle i will work a while
and i will get some more pocket money
for nancy whiskey did me beguile
