Capo: 2 Tuning: E A D G B E

Gosport Nan (capo 2 for original but easier to sing without capo i.e. in key of C)

^CNancy Johnson, she's my darling she’s my every waking thought How she greets me when she meets me ^Dwhen my ship gets ^Gin to port ^CAll the Gosport ladies, they ^Ddo the best they ^Gcan. But if you're ^Cmaking a bed for a ^Fsailor's head there's ^Cnone like ^Gmy girl ^CNan.

Gosport girls can drink for England Gosport girls, they goes their tot!

Rum and brandy, gin and shandy ^DGosport girls will ^Gdrink the lot! ^CAll the Gosport ladies they ^Dswig the flowing ^Gcan But for ^Cknocking it back with ^FHonest Jack there's ^Cnone like ^Gmy girl ^CNan.

CHORUS:

Oh Nancy ^Gcan't you see ^Amyou're the only ^Cgirl for me! How I dream of ^Flovely Nancy ^Cwhen I'm sailing ^Gon the ^Csea.

Gosport girls, they're good at dancing they’re the best, there is no doubt.

When the music sets them prancing ^Dhow they'll fling their ^Gskirts about! ^CAll the Gosport ladies they ^Ddo the French ^GCan-Can ^CBut for real high kicks and ^Ffancy tricks there’s ^Cnone like ^Gmy girl ^CNan.

CHORUS Nancy Johnson keeps a bar-room where the boys can take their ease

She will wake me and she'll shake me ^Dshe will do whatever she ^Gplease. ^CAll the Gosport ladies they ^Ddo the best they ^Gcan But for ^Cmaking a bed for a ^Fsailor's head there's ^Cnone like ^Gmy girl ^CNan
