Long Cookstown

C     F  C

[Verse]
C
For three long quarters I was 
a-weaving
           F
And for my wages I was paid down
           C
And for to buy a new suit of 
clothing
C
I made my way into long Cookstown

[Verse]
           Am          C
But when I got to long Cookstown
                           Am
Nancy Whiskey I chanced to smell
          C
Says I to myself, “I'll go and taste
 you
                        G          
For three long quarters I loved you
 C
 well”

[Verse]
C
So I went into an ale tavern
                               F
And I begged pardon for making free
          C
But Nancy met me at every corner

“You're heart'ly welcome, young 
man,” says she

[Verse]
        Am            C
When I awoke the next morning
                            Am
I found myself in a strange bed
           C
I tried to rise, but I wasn't able
                       G        
For Nancy Whiskey held me by the 
 C
head

[Verse]
C
So I went down to the landlady
To find what reckoning there was to 
F
pay
              C
“It's fifteen shillings for ale and 
brandy
C
And after that you may go or stay”

[Verse]
         Am         C
I put my hand to my pocket
                             Am
That was the money I did lay down
           C
On looking back into my small purse
                        G   
All that remained was a bare 
      C
half-crown

[Verse]
C
I put my head out of the window
                               F
A charming damsel I chanced to spy
           C
With her I spent my two-and-tuppence
C
Till all remained was the fourp'nny 
boy

[Verse]
          Am             C
I will go back all to my weaving
                               Am
My little shuttle I will work awhile
           C
And I will get some more 
pocket-money
                  G        C
For Nancy Whiskey did me beguile
