G Bad luck to the rolling water, badC G luck to the salty brine,C G I only had the one true love, sheD swore she would be mine.G Now she’s gone and left me andC G wandered far away,C G Left me crying here beside theD G water. [Verse 1]G Well Nancy Doyle it was her name,C G she was a fine young lady,C G Until she sailed away from me andD she almost drove me crazy.G Well Nancy came from Dublin town,C G right beside the Poddle,C G ‘Til o’er the sea away from me sheD G chanced all for to toddle. [Chorus]G Bad luck to the rolling water, badC G luck to the salty brine,C G I only had the one true love, sheD swore she would be mine.G Now she’s gone and left me andC G wandered far away,C G Left me crying here beside theD G water. [Verse 2]G Her eyes were wild and shone brightC blue, her laugh was full andG hearty,C G Her humour droll, the life andD soul and centre of every party.G She could drink a pint of whiskeyC G all straight from the can,C G When the night was done and dustedD G it was then she’d hold my hand. [Chorus]G Bad luck to the rolling water, badC G luck to the salty brine,C G I only had the one true love, sheD swore she would be mine.Continúa después del anuncioG Now she’s gone and left me andC G wandered far away,C G Left me crying here beside theD G water. [Verse 3]G She might not have been Aurora, aC G Flora or Diana,C G But she sang songs in the back tapD room along to the ould piana.G C She was not Euternatia, nor wasG she Venus bright,C G But she could drink much more thanD G you and beat you in a fight.

[Verse 4]G Well there she was at work one dayC G pretending to be sober,C G When up there steps a dandy gentD all for to look her over.G C He says ‘I have an offer - I thinkG you’ll find it grand!C G We’ll sail away upon the seaD G smuggling contraband.’ [Chorus]G Bad luck to the rolling water, badC G luck to the salty brine,C G I only had the one true love, sheD swore she would be mine.G Now she’s gone and left me andC G wandered far away,C G Left me crying here beside theD G water. [Verse 5]G What could I say, what could I do?C G It was more than I could offer,C G I had to let her spread her wings,D I couldn’t try to stop her,G C Now she collects fine diamondsG vases and antique rugs,C G With all the bags of money thatD G she makes from dealing drugs. [Chorus]G Bad luck to the rolling water, badC G luck to the salty brine,C G I only had the one true love, sheD swore she would be mine.G Now she’s gone and left me andC G wandered far away,C G Left me crying here beside theD G water. [Verse 6]G Oh Nancy, dearest Nancy, oneC G thousand times adieu,C G I’ll ne’er forget ‘til my dyingD breath the times I spent with you.G Though now I’m old and feeble andC G shaking on each knee,C G If ever you come this way againD G we’ll go upon a spree. [Chorus]G Bad luck to the rolling water, badC G luck to the salty brine,C G I only had the one true love, sheD swore she would be mine.G Now she’s gone and left me andC G wandered far away,C G Left me crying here beside theD G water.
