For five long quarters I’ve loved her well

I entered into a little alehouse
F C G
Begged Nancy’s pardon for makin free

and Nancy met me at every corner
F C G C
You’re hearty welcome, young man says she
F C
We both sat down at a little table
F C G
looked at each other for a little while

We both sat down at a little table
F C G C
And Nancy’s whiskey did me beguile
[Verse 3]

I found meself in a little parlor
F C G
I found meself then in a little bed

I tried to rise, but I was not able
F C G C
For Nancy’s whiskey held down my head

When I arose aye the following morning

It’s fifteen shillings for ale and porter
F C G C
Now pay it quickly son and get away

It’s fifteen shillings for ale and porter
F C G C
And all remaining was a half a crown

and there a fair maid I chanced to spy

I called her in, spent two and tupence
F C G C
and all remaining was a crooked boy
