- Nancy Whiskey is a traditional Scottish folk song that was popularised by Luke Kelly & The Dubliners. However, it was later covered by Shane MacGowan and The Popes in 1994. The song tells a captivating story and is rich with historical and cultural significance.
The exact origins of Nancy Whiskey are unclear. It is believed to have roots in Scottish and Irish folk traditions. Over time, it has gained popularity and has been performed by numerous artists.
The lyrics of Nancy Whiskey depict the tale of a woman named Nancy who is known for her love of whiskey. However, beyond the surface level description of Nancy’s fondness for the drink, the song carries deeper meanings. It explores the themes of love, longing, and the escapism that whiskey can provide. Nancy is portrayed as a complex and mysterious character who captures the hearts of those who encounter her.
In many interpretations, Nancy Whiskey is seen as a metaphor for the pursuit of pleasure and the escapism it offers in the face of hardship and adversity.
The song reflects the human desire for a temporary reprieve from the difficulties of life, an almost perfect song for Shane MacGowan to cover.
As I went down through Glasgow city
Just to see what I might spy
What should I see but Nancy Whiskey
A playful twinkle in her eye
Whiskey, Whiskey, Nancy Whiskey
Whiskey, Whiskey, Nancy Ohh
I bought her, I drank her, I had another
Ran out of money, so I did steal
She ran me ragged, Nancy Whiskey
For seven years, a rollin' wheel
Whiskey, Whiskey, Nancy Whiskey
Whiskey, Whiskey, Nancy Ohh
The more I held her, the more I loved her
Nancy had her spell on me
All I knew was lovely Nancy
The things I needed I could not see
Whiskey, Whiskey, Nancy Whiskey
Whiskey, Whiskey, Nancy Ohh
As I awoke to slake my thirst
As I tried crawling from my bed
I fell down flat, I could not stagger
Nancy had me by the legs
Whiskey, Whiskey, Nancy Whiskey
Whiskey, Whiskey, Nancy Ohh
Come on landlady, what's the owing
Tell me what there is to pay
Fifteen shillings that's the reckoning
Now pay me quickly and go away
Whiskey, Whiskey, Nancy Whiskey
Whiskey, Whiskey, Nancy Ohh
Whiskey, Whiskey, Nancy Whiskey
Whiskey, Whiskey, Nancy Ohh - เพลง
