Tipping It Up To Nancy

notes:
historical: Well... I was chatting with Ray, who came to visit one night, and when Colm played this song, Ray kind of laughed and said, "I used to sing this song when I was a kid." So, um, that's historical.
CDs/MP3s: It's a new one, so it's not on anything -- but they're putting out a new album soon so maybe it'll be on it! I really like their version of it.
special Prodigals info: Colm is absolutely adorable. I'm quite smitten, even if I can't quite pronounce his name yet.

Tipping It Up To Nancy

Oh, there's been a woman in our town, a woman you ought know well
She dearly loved her husband 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 buy,
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 has the last one sucked, 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 had the last one sucked, 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

If in this world I cannot see, here I cannot stay.
I'd 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 led him to the river, she led him to the brim
But sly enough of Martin, it was him that shoved 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, dear Martin. Don't leave me behind."

With me right finnickineerio, me tip finnick a wall
With me right finnickineerio, We're tipping it up to Nancy

"Oh Martin, dear Martin. Don't leave me behind."
"Yerra shut up outa that ye silly aul fool', ye know poor Martin is blind"
