| Lyrics: | LOVING NANCY
I'm going to travel the wilderness through
Therefore, loving Nancy,
I'll bid you adieu
I'm going to travel many a long mile
Therefore, loving Nancy, I'll
leave you for a while
Down in New Alena, my boat I will steer
And the face of many
pretty girls I see on the shore
But the face of a Spaniard I'd never adore
Go back to
Kentucky, try Nancy once more
I wish I was a clerksman, could write a fine hand
I'd
write my love a letter that she would understand
I'd send it on water that would never
o'erflow
Go back to Kentucky, try Nancy once more
I wish I was a fishman down by the
seaside
And Nancy was a salmon come floating on the tide
I'd throw my net around her and
bring her to shore
Go back to Kentucky, try Nancy once more
Loving Nancy, loving
Nancy, I have returned home
I always did love you and for your sake mourned
We're going to
get married, I doubt for your sake
I threw my arms around her and felt her heart
break
@love @sea @travel
