Gosport Nancy
(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 gospel ladies, swirl the best they can
But when you bet for a sailor's head there's nothing like my girl now
(Verse)
Gospel girls can jump for England
Gospel girls, there goes their taunt
Rum and brandy, gin and shandy
Gospel girls do drink a lot
(Chorus)
All the gospel 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)
Gospel 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 gospel 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 gospel 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
(Instrumental break)
Hey, ho, gospel ladies
Hey, ho, gospel ladies
Hey, ho, gospel ladies
Hey, ho, gospel ladies
Hey, ho, gospel ladies
