[@KittyStarlight]

The Clancy Brothers' one is my favorite so far of this song but this version could easily become another favorite. And until now I did not even know that the Corries had one. Thank you for posting.

[@rfish54]

good song of honest thinking whiskey drinkers and others who love life. Don't waste your life not exploring. Well the whiskey, Nancy Whiskey owes.

[@Raaneking]

God damn lovley version 😁

[@nevermore1043]

This isn't the version of the song that I learned, but I love it.

[@sandramorey2529]

nevermore1043: Similar words, but different tune. I love this one & the other variant too. I've sung the other one for decades.

" Usquebaugh ! " (sp?) Uttered by Deborah (one of my favorite Scottish actresses) Kerr's character in 1967 movie, "Casino Royale" (James Bond spoof, also starring David Niven), as she feels the effects of the Scotch whiskey.

so who is playing the bagpipes?

[@dragonwithamonocle]

Anyone know the lyrics of the last verse? I just can't make it out and looking up the lyrics provides lyrics to what amount to entirely different songs

[@BokorRider]

from what time in the video do you need.. I understand it aw like...

[@murdochmclennan3510]

Dragon... On Google, try requesting the lyrics to the song as the Corries sing it.

[@murdochmclennan3510]

Dragon: Go to www.corries.com & ask Gavin Browne, son of Ronnie.

[@dragonwithamonocle]

@@BokorRider Just the first couple lines at about the 3:04 mark. My poor American-trained brain can't quite make them out

[@J.A.T.]

The final verse is: "So I'll gan back tae my trade o the weaving I'll fairly mak my wee shuttles flee And the devil's curses on Nancy Whisky For Nancy Whiskey has ruined me" Being that this is live, slight variations may be thrown in by Ronnie and Roy in each individual performance, so things may be slightly different. But this is the final verse for this particular performance.

Irish and Scottish songs sound so similar.
