Loving Nancy 2 I'm going to travel the wilderness through Therefore, loving Nancy, I'll bid you adieu I'm going to travel many a long mile Therefore, loving Nancy, I'll leave you for a while Down in New Alena, my boat I will steer And the face of many pretty girls I see on the shore But the face of a Spaniard I'd never adore Go back to Kentucky, try Nancy once more I wish I was a clerksman, could write a fine hand I'd write my love a letter that she would understand I'd send it on water that would never o'erflow Go back to Kentucky, try Nancy once more I wish I was a fishman down by the seaside And Nancy was a salmon come floating on the tide I'd throw my net around her and bring her to shore Go back to Kentucky, try Nancy once more Loving Nancy, loving Nancy, I have returned home I always did love you and for your sake mourned We're going to get married, I doubt for your sake I threw my arms around her and felt her heart break recorded by Sarah Ogan Gunning SOF oct96
