Oh, the streams of lovely Nancy divide in three parts,
          Bb            F            C               C
Where the young men and maidens they meet their sweethearts.
         F                C            F              F
It's the drinking of good liquor that makes my heart sing,
         Bb           F              C            F
and the noise in the valley made the rocks for to ring.

       F           C            F            F
At the top of this mountain, my loves castle stands
         Bb             F        C            C
and it's overbuilt with ivory on yonder black sand.
     F            C             F          F
Fine arches, fine porches like diamonds so bright,
       Bb           F           C            F
It's a beacon for a sailor on a dark winters night.

   F           C            F            F
On yonder high mountain the wild fowl do fly,
         Bb       F                 C         C
and it's running amongst them that flies very high.
   F            C             F              F
If I had her in my arms, near diamonds black lamp,
    Bb           F                 C            F
How soon I would secure her by the slight of my hand.

       F            C           F          F
At the base of this mountain a river runs clear,
       Bb             F        C             C
And a ship from the Indies it once anchored there.
     F           C               F             F 
With red flags a-flying and the beating of her drum,
       Bb            F               C           F
sweet instruments of music and the firing of her gun.

        F                C       F              F
Oh the streams of lovely Nancy divide in three parts,
          Bb             F           C                C
Where the young men and maidens they meet their sweethearts.
          F               C            F              F
It's the drinking of good liquor that makes my heart sing,
         Bb           F               C            F
and the noise in the valley made the rocks for to ring.
