Cormac Gannon - Tipping It Up To Nancy

I learned this fun song from the singing of the great Christy Moore and I am playing a Bodhran that I made sometime in 2020 check out here: cormac-gannon-heartbeat-bodhrans.square.site. You can hear this song on my CD, "Different" https://cormacgannon.bandcamp.com/rel...

Tipping It Up To Nancy (Trad)

Oh, there's been a woman in our town
A woman you ought know well
She loved her husband dearly
And another man twice as well
With me right finnickineerio
Me tip finnick a wall
With me right finnickineerio
We're tipping it up to Nancy

She went down to the chemist shop
Some remedies for to find
Have you anything in your chemist shop
To make me old man blind
With me right finnickineerio
Me tip finnick a wall
With me right finnickineerio
We're tipping it up to Nancy

Give him eggs and marrowbones
And make him suck them all
Before he sucks the last
Sure he won't see you at all
With me right finnickineerio
Me tip finnick a wall
With me right finnickineerio
We're tipping it up to Nancy

She gave him eggs and marrowbones
And made him suck them all
Before he sucked the last one
He couldn't see her at all
With me right finnickineerio
Me tip finnick a wall
With me right finnickineerio
We're tipping it up to Nancy
I
If in this world I cannot see
Ti’s here I cannot stay
I'd rather go and drown myself
"Come on" says she
"And I'll show you the way"
With me right finnickineerio
Me tip finnick a wall
With me right finnickineerio
We're tipping it up to Nancy

She took him to the river
She took him to the brim
But sly of old Martin
It was him that pushed her in
With me right finnickineerio
Me tip finnick a wall
With me right finnickineerio
We're tipping it up to Nancy

She swam through the river
She swam through the brine
"Oh Martin, oh Martin
Don't leave me behind
"Yerra shut up outa that ye silly aul fool
Poor Martin is blind"
With me right finnickineerio
We're tipping it up to Nancy

There's nine in me family
And none of them is my own
I wish that each and every man
Would come and claim his own
With me right finnickineerio
Me tip finnick a wall
With me right finnickineerio
We're tipping it up to Nancy
With me right finnickineerio
Me tip finnick a wall
With me right finnickineerio
We're tipping it up to Nancy
