Andy Irvine – Longford Weaver Lyrics

Artist: Andy Irvine
Song: Longford Weaver

These five long quarters i have been weaving
And for me weaving i was paid down
I bought a shirt in the foremost fashion
All for to walk up through longford town

I walked up and through longford city
Where nancy’s whiskey i chanced to smell
I thought it fun for to go and taste it
These five long quarters i’ve liked it well

I entered into a little alehouse
Begged nancy’s pardon for makin free
And nancy met me at every corner
You’re hearty welcome, young man says she

Wе both sat down at a little table
We lookеd at each other a little while
We both sat down at a little table
And nancy’s whiskey it did beguile

I found meself then in a little parlor
I found meself then in a little bed
I tried to rise but i was not able
For nancy’s whiskey it held down me head

When i arose aye the following morning
I asked what reckoning i had to pay
It’s fifteen shillings for ale and porter
Come pay it quickly now and get away

I put me hand all in me pocket
The ready money i laid it down
It’s fifteen shillings for ale and porter
And all remaining was a half a crown

Well i looked up, i looked out a window
Where there a fair maid i chanced to spy
I called her in we spent two and two pence
And all remaining was a crooked boy

I put the money out on the table
Saying i leave this money out with the rest
And i’ll drink a health to every young man
And the wee lassie that i love best

And i’ll go home, i’ll begin me weavin
I’ll steer me shuttle another while
And if i live to another season
It’s nancy’s whiskey will not me beguile
