Gosport Nancy

[Verse 1]
Nancy Johnson, she's my darling
She's my every waking thought
How she'll greet me when she meets me
When my ship gets in to port

[Chorus 1]
All the Gosport ladies, they do the best they can
But for making a bed for a sailor's head there's none like my girl Nan (Nan!)

[Verse 2]
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 2]
All the Gosport ladies, they swig the flowing can
But for knocking it back with Honest Jack there's none like my girl Nan (Nan!)

[Bridge 1]
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 3]
Gosport girls, they're good at dancing
They're the best, there is no doubt
When the music sets them prancing
How they'll fling their skirts about

[Chorus 3]
All the Gosport ladies, they do the French can-can
But for real high kicks and fancy tricks there's none like my girl Nan (Nan!)

[Bridge 1]
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 4]
Nancy Johnson keeps a bar room where the boys can take their ease
She will wake me and she'll shake me, she will do whate'er she please

[Chorus 1]
All the Gosport ladies, they do the best they can
But for making a bed for a sailor's head there's none like my girl Nan (Nan!)

[Bridge 1]
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

[Bridge 2]
Hey, ho, Gosport ladies
Hey, ho, Gosport girls
Hey, ho, Gosport ladies

Hey, ho, Gosport ladies
Hey, ho, Gosport girls
Hey, ho, Gosport ladies

Hey, ho, Gosport ladies
Hey, ho, Gosport girls
Hey, ho, Gosport ladies

Hey, ho, Gosport ladies
Hey, ho, Gosport girls
Hey, ho, Gosport ladies
Oh...

[Bridge 1 & Outro]
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
