(Verse) |
|
Nancy Johnson, she's my darling |
|
She's my every waking fruit |
|
How she greets me when she meets me |
|
When my ship gets in too deep (?) |
|
(Chorus) |
|
All the Gosport ladies, swirl the best they can |
|
But when you bet for a sailor's head there's nothing like my girl now |
|
(Verse) |
|
Gosport girls can jump for England |
|
Gosport girls, there goes their taunt |
|
Rum and brandy, gin and shandy |
|
Gosport girls do drink a lot |
|
(Chorus) |
|
All the Gosport ladies, swirl the best they can |
|
But for looking it back I am a jack, there's nothing like my girl now |
|
(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 dance the French can-can |
|
The ? high kick and fancy chicks, there's nothing like my girl now |
|
(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 the best she can |
|
(Chorus) |
|
All the Gosport laddies, they do the best they can |
|
They're for making bed for a sailor's head |
|
There's none like my girl now |
|
(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 |
