Audience - Nancy lyrics

rate me

Nancy was a farmer's daughter everything her Daddy taught her honestly, honestly

And even though her Pa was poor he always kept within the law and so did she, so did she

Because there's no shame in workin' in the rain

He's using every day to shape his daughter's character

For someone's son to marry her

On the day her Momma died he promised to protect the pride of family, family

And as he left the hospital he vowed if it was possible they'd both be free, both be free

Then came to court her, Clancy Clearwater

Rich gifts he bought her from them big stores

And her old man fancied that she's wed Clancy

A dude ranch owner from Arizona

A real fine dancer, slicked up romancer

He got this answer from his fair Nancy

No no no, I won't go, No no no, I won't go

Clancy came complaingin to the farmer did his brain in, couldn't understand, understand

Rich and pretty looking she'd not even do the cooking if she gave her hand, gave her hand

She'd be wearing Satin, reading literature in Latin, life'd not be hard, not be hard

Seems that were the trouble she preferred to tend the stubble in her own backyard, own backyard
