Bellowhead - Gosport Nancy lyrics

Nancy Johnson, she's my darling
She's my every waking thought
How she'll greet me when she meets me
When my ship gets in to port

All the Gosport ladies
They do the best they can
But for making a bed for a sailor's
Head there's none like my girl Nan (Nan)

Gosport girls can drink for England
Gosport girls, there goes their tot
Rum and brandy, gin and shandy
Gosport girls will drink the lot

All the Gosport ladies
They swig the flowing can
But for knocking it back with Honest Jack
There's none like my girl Nan (Nan)

Oh, Nancy
Can't you see? You're the only girl for me!
How I dream of lovely Nancy when
I'm sailing on the sea

Gosport girls, they're good at dancing
They're the best, there is no doubt
When the music sets them prancing
How they'll fling their skirts about

All the Gosport ladies
They do the French can-can
But for real high kicks and fancy tricks
There's none like my girl Nan (Nan)

Oh, Nancy
Can't you see? You're the only girl for me!
How I dream of lovely Nancy when
I'm sailing on the sea

Nancy Johnson keeps a bar room where
The boys can take their ease
She will wake me and she'll shake me
She will do whate'er she please

All the Gosport ladies
They do the best they can
But for making a bed for a sailor's
Head there's none like my girl Nan (Nan)

Oh, Nancy
Can't you see? You're the only girl for me!
How I dream of lovely Nancy when
I'm sailing on the sea

Hey, ho, Gosport ladies
Hey, ho, Gosport girls
Hey, ho, Gosport ladies

Hey, ho, Gosport ladies
Hey, ho, Gosport girls
Hey, ho, Gosport ladies

Hey, ho, Gosport ladies
Hey, ho, Gosport girls
Hey, ho, Gosport ladies

Hey, ho, Gosport ladies
Hey, ho, Gosport girls
Hey, ho, Gosport ladies oh

Oh, Nancy
Can't you see? You're the only girl for me!
How I dream of lovely Nancy when
I'm sailing on the sea
