Lovely Nancy - an Irish song from Donegal by schnefsky and accordiona

Lovely Nancy, an Irish song by schnefsky and accordiona. From Balintra, County Donegal, Ireland.
Lorna Pollock, accordion (California). Geoff Swift, vocals (Ontario, Canada)

Our second video together. Hope you enjoy it!

Fare thee well lovely Nancy, it's now I must leave you,
And cross the main ocean, where the stormy winds blow.
It's let my long journey be of no trouble to you,
For my love, I'll be back in the course of a year.

It's talk not of leaving me here lovely Willie,
It's talk not of leaving me here on this shore.
For you know very well your long journey will grieve me,
Stay at home, lovely Willie, to the seas do not go.

As our ship set a-sailing, lovely Nancy stood a-wailing
The tears from here eyes down like fountains did flow.
As Willie went a-walking the quay of Philadelphia,
The thoughts of his Nancy still run in his mind.

Then Willie wrote a letter to his own true love Nancy,
Saying 'If you'll prove constant, sure I will prove true.'
Lovely Nancy on death-bed, and could not recover
When the news was brought to him that his love was no more.

So come all you pretty fair maids and a warning take by me,
And never court a seaman nor a sailor so bold.
For first they will court you and then they'll deceive you,
For their mind is perpetual like the Western wind.

(c) 2011 accordiona and schnefsky
