▷ LETRA: Long Cookstown

Letra

[Intro]


[Verse]

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]

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]

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]

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 the head

[Verse]

So I went down to the landlady

To find what reckoning there was to pay

“It s fifteen shillings for ale and brandy

And after that you may go or stay”

[Verse]

I put my hand to 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]


[Verse]

I put my head out of the 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]

I will go back all to my weaving

My little shuttle I will work awhile

And I will get some more pocket-money

For Nancy Whiskey did me beguile

[Outro]
