Bellowhead - Gosport Nancy lyrics

rate me

(Verse)

Nancy Johnson, she's my darling

She's my every waking thought

How she greets me when she meets me

When my ship gets in too deep port

(Chorus)

All the Gosport ladies,they do the best they can

But for making a bed for a sailor's head there's nothing like my girl nan

(Verse)

Gosport girls can drink for England

Gosport girls, there goes their tot

Rum and brandy, gin and shandy

Gosport girls will drink the lot

(Chorus)

All the Gosport ladies,they swirl the flowing can

But for knocking it back with honest jack, there's none like my girl nan

(Bridge)

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

(Verse)

Gosport girls, they're good at dancing

They're the best, there is no doubt

When the music sets them flouncing

How a thing they're scared about (?)

(Chorus)

All the Gosport ladies, they do the French can-can

but for real high kicks and fancy tricks, there's nothing like my girl nan

(Bridge)

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 where the boys can take their ease

She will wake me and she'll shake me, she will do what ere she please

(Chorus)

All the Gosport laddies, they do the best they can

but for making bed for a sailor's head

There's none like my girl nan

(Bridge)

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

(Instrumental break)

Hey, ho, Gosport ladies

Hey, ho, Gosport ladies

Hey, ho, Gosport ladies

Hey, ho, Gosport ladies

Hey, ho, Gosport ladies
