Gosport Nancy - Bellowhead

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

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!)

Gosport girls can drink for England

Gosport girls, there goes their tot

Rum and brandy, gin and shandy

Gosport girls will drink the lot

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!)

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

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

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!)

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 room where the boys can take their ease

She will wake me and she’ll shake me, she will do whate’er she please

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!)

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

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…

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
