GOSPORT NANCY

Gosport Nancy, she's my fancy. She's the one to give good sport.
How she'll greet you when she meets you, when your ship gets into port.
All the Gosport ladies, they love the sailorman,
But for finding a way to spend your pay, there's none like Gosport Nan.

(Refrain)
Oh, all the Gosport ladies, they do the best they can,
But for finding a way to spend your pay, there's none like Gosport Nan.

Gosport girls all love their gargle, Gosport girls'll slug their tot.
Rum and brandy, gin and shandy, Gosport girls'll drink the lot.
All the Gosport ladies, they swig the flowing can,
But for knocking it back with Sailor Jack, there's none like Gosport Nan.

(Refrain)
Oh, all the Gosport ladies, they do the best they can,
But for knocking it back with Sailor Jack, there's none like Gosport Nan.

Gosport girls are good at dancing; they're the best there is, no doubt.
When the music sets 'em prancing, how they fling their skirts about.
All the Gosport ladies, they do the French can-can,
But for fancy tricks and real high kicks, there's none like Gosport Nan.

(Refrain)
Oh, all the Gosport ladies, they do the best they can,
But for fancy tricks and real high kicks, there's none like Gosport Nan.

Gosport Nancy keeps a parlor where the boys can take their ease.
She will wake you, she will shake you, she will do whatever you please.
All the Gosport ladies, they love the sailorman,
But for making a bed for a sailor's head, there's none like Gosport Nan.

(Refrain)
Oh, all the Gosport ladies, they do the best they can,
But for making a bed for a sailor's head, there's none like Gosport Nan.
