G C G Bad luck to the rolling water, bad luck to the salty brine,C G D I only had the one true love, she swore she would be mine.G C G Now she’s gone and left me and wandered far away,C G D G Left me crying here beside the water. [Verse 1]G C G Well Nancy Doyle it was her name, she was a fine young lady,C G D Until she sailed away from me and she almost drove me crazy.G C G Well Nancy came from Dublin town, right beside the Poddle,C G D G ‘Til o’er the sea away from me she chanced all for to toddle. [Chorus]G C G Bad luck to the rolling water, bad luck to the salty brine,C G D I only had the one true love, she swore she would be mine.G C G Now she’s gone and left me and wandered far away,C G D G Left me crying here beside the water. [Verse 2]G C G Her eyes were wild and shone bright blue, her laugh was full and hearty,C G D Her humour droll, the life and soul and centre of every party.G C G She could drink a pint of whiskey all straight from the can,C G D G When the night was done and dusted it was then she’d hold my hand. [Chorus]G C G Bad luck to the rolling water, bad luck to the salty brine,C G D I only had the one true love, she swore she would be mine.G C G Now she’s gone and left me and wandered far away,C G D G Left me crying here beside the water. [Verse 3]G C G She might not have been Aurora, a Flora or Diana,C G D But she sang songs in the back tap room along to the ould piana.G C G She was not Euternatia, nor was she Venus bright,C G D G But she could drink much more than you and beat you in a fight. [Chorus]G C G Bad luck to the rolling water, bad luck to the salty brine,C G D I only had the one true love, she swore she would be mine.G C G Now she’s gone and left me and wandered far away,C G D G Left me crying here beside the water. [Verse 4]G C G Well there she was at work one day pretending to be sober,C G D When up there steps a dandy gent all for to look her over.G C G He says ‘I have an offer - I think you’ll find it grand!C G D G We’ll sail away upon the sea smuggling contraband.’ [Chorus]G C G Bad luck to the rolling water, bad luck to the salty brine,C G D I only had the one true love, she swore she would be mine.G C G Now she’s gone and left me and wandered far away,C G D G Left me crying here beside the water. [Verse 5]G C G What could I say, what could I do? It was more than I could offer,C G D I had to let her spread her wings, I couldn’t try to stop her,G C G Now she collects fine diamonds vases and antique rugs,C G D G With all the bags of money that she makes from dealing drugs. [Chorus]G C G Bad luck to the rolling water, bad luck to the salty brine,C G D I only had the one true love, she swore she would be mine.G C G Now she’s gone and left me and wandered far away,C G D G Left me crying here beside the water. [Verse 6]G C G Oh Nancy, dearest Nancy, one thousand times adieu,C G D I’ll ne’er forget ‘til my dying breath the times I spent with you.G C G Though now I’m old and feeble and shaking on each knee,C G D G If ever you come this way again we’ll go upon a spree. [Chorus]G C G Bad luck to the rolling water, bad luck to the salty brine,C G D I only had the one true love, she swore she would be mine.G C G Now she’s gone and left me and wandered far away,C G D G Left me crying here beside the water.
