Shaky Nancy Lyrics - Richard Thompson

(Chorus) 

Here she comes and there she goes 

Nothing on her fingers, nothing on her toes 

Why she comes, nobody knows 

Here comes Shaky Nancy 

Don't be believing she melts in your hand 

Runs with the tide and she shifts with the sand 

Sends you a message and turns to stone 

She's a hard girl, Nancy 

One cold morning, ice on the sea 

Shaky Nancy, won't you lean on me? 

Must mean something, how can you lose? 

There's nothing choosy or chancy 

(Chorus) 

Nancy went walking, she's gone for the day 

When she comes back, she's been two years away 

But still tears in her eyes 

Who'll say a prayer for Nancy? 

(Chorus) 

Just throw me a bottle, call me a bore 

And you throw what's left of me into the hall 

I'll take a sleep, I'll take a sleep 

And I'll dream sweet dreams of Nancy 

(Chorus)
