C F
Lovely Nancy ran a shoe repair shop
C
G7
Darling Willie brought her his boots
C F
For to
have the soles with leather bound up
C G7 C
And to have the
heels elevate his foots.
"I have two pair of leather sea boots
One pair it is plumb
wore through
I'll leave this pair for you to fix and polish
I'll wear the others and think
of you."
"Yes, my dear, I'm going sailing
Seven years upon the sea
What is
there that we can split between us
As a token of our love to be?"
"Willie dear,
here's your claim ticket
Numbered eight thousand and forty-nine
I'll guard mine and you
may cherish your half
As a love to-ken to last through time."
He took his ticket and
went a-sailing
He sailed the sea for seven years
Until at last his boots with holes were
riddled
And he figured it was time to return to her.
And on one fair October
morning
He walked into the old shoe place
His slicker covered ticket
eight-oh-four-nine
And his love stared blankly at his bearded face
"Lovely Nancy,
pray be my bride."
"Oh no, old man, that cannot be.
I have a young love out upon the
ocean
When his boots wear out he'll return to me."
He threw open his old worn
raincoat,
FLASHED the ticket, eight-oh-four-nine,
"Nancy dear, it's me, I'm your true
lover
Returned for my boots, and to make you mine."
"Willie dear, you have
return-ed
We'll be married by the old church door
But the boots you brought for soles and
heels and polish
They won't be ready till Friday at four."
This young couple were
childhood sweethearts
She was a child and he was a hood
They lived a life of blissful pure
devotion
My song is now ended and I think that's good.
