Daoiri Farrell - Tipping it up to Nancy

This is a song from Daoiri's first CD. I first heard it from Planxty, but there are many versions of the song out there. In this version from youtube Daoiri plays it with such power...

{title:Tipping It Up To Nancy}

{subtitle:}

O there [G]was a woman in our town, 

a woman you aught know well, 

she [C]loved her husband dearly and 

an[D]other man twice as well. [C]Oh

{soc}

With me [G]right finnickinairio, me tip fin nick a wall

With me [C]right finnicki[G]nairio, We’re [D]tipping it up to [G]Nancy

{eoc}

Well, she went down to the chemist shop some remedies for to buy

"Have you anything in your chemist shop that'll make me old man blind?"

"Well, give him eggs and marrowbones and make him suck them all

And before he has the last one sucked he won't see you at all."

So she gave him eggs and marrowbones 

and made him suck them all

Before he had the last one sucked 

he can't see her at all

"If in this world I cannot see, 

it's here I cannot stay, 

I'd rather go and drown myself; 

Come on says she "I'll show you the way."

She led him to the river 

and she led him to the brim

But sly enough of Martin 

it was him that shoved her in

She swam through the river, and 

she swam through the brine, 

"Oh Martin, dear Martin 

don't leave me behind!"

"Yerra shut with that you silly ol' fool. 

You know poor Martin is blind!"

With me right finnickinairio, We’re tipping it up to Nancy

I've nine in me family, 

and none of them is me own, 

oh I wish that each and every man,

will come and claim his own
