C
Nancy Johnson, she's my darling sheâ??s my every waking thought
D G
How she greets me when she meets me when my ship gets in to port
C D G
All the Gosport ladies, they do the best they can.
C F C G C
But if you're making a bed for a sailor's head there's none like my girl Nan.
Gosport girls can drink for England Gosport girls, they goes their tot!
D G
Rum and brandy, gin and shandy Gosport girls will drink the lot!
C D G
All the Gosport ladies they swig the flowing can
C F C G C
But for knocking it back with Honest Jack there's none like my girl Nan.
G Am C
Oh Nancy can't you see you're the only girl for me!
F C G C
How I dream of lovely Nancy when I'm sailing on the sea.
Gosport girls, they're good at dancing theyâ??re the best, there is no doubt.
D G
When the music sets them prancing how they'll fling their skirts about!
C D G
All the Gosport ladies they do the French Can-Can
C F C G C
But for real high kicks and fancy tricks thereâ??s none like my girl Nan.
Nancy Johnson keeps a bar-room where the boys can take their ease
D G
She will wake me and she'll shake me she will do whatever she please.
C D G
All the Gosport ladies they do the best they can
C F C G C
But for making a bed for a sailor's head there's none like my girl Nan
