Bonny Blue-Eyed Nancy

[Verse 1]
How can I live
Upon the top of a mountain
With no gold in my pocket
And no money for to count it
I would let the money go
All for to please her fancy
For I would marry no one
But my bonny blue-eyed Nancy

[Verse 2]
She's my bonny blue-eyed Nancy
With an air so sweet and tender
Her walk like a swan that floats
And her waist so small and tender
Her golden hair in ringlets fair
Hangs o'er her milk white shoulders
And I'd ask her for to marry me
And no man could be bolder

[Verse 3]
There's some people say
That she's very low in station
There's other people say
She'll be the cause of my ruination
But let them all say what they will
To my love I'll prove constant still
Till the day I die
She'll be my own lovely lady

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 4]
It's lightly swims the swan
O'er the dark waters of Eochaill
And lightly sings the nightingale
So happy to behold her
The winds may blow, the moorcocks crow
The moon may shine so deeply
Ah but deeper by far
Is my love for my own lady

[Verse 2]
She's my bonny blue-eyed Nancy
With an air so sweet and tender
Her walk like a swan that floats
And her waist so small and slender
Her golden hair in ringlets fair
Hangs o'er her milk white shoulders
And I'd ask her for to marry me
And no man could be bolder
