There's a nice little pub
Down in Halifax town
Where the lads from the subs
Like to party on down
And slingin' the beer
To all far and near
Was a trim little rig
From her stern to her sprit
And the lads called her Nancy Mcfay
She would tack through their midst
Like a sleek little barque
Slingin' draft right and left
Returning broadsides adept
In reply to each sailorman's remark
Chorus
Oh! She was a trim little rig
From her stern to her sprit
And the lads called her Nancy Mcfay
Well they'd offer large tips
To wrest a smile from her lips
And with practiced aplomb
She would wriggle her bum
As she scooped up her plunder,
Oh, it was great fun dears!
Chorus
Then she'd let fly her sheets
And put her stern to the fleet
And beat a hasty retreat
To load up her tray.
Then, once again cleared for action
She'd rejoin the fray
Chorus
Oh! She was a trim little rig
From her stern to her sprit
And the lads called her Nancy Mcfay
Yes, she was the lovely Nancy Mcfay
And although there were lots of 'um
Not a lad could proclaim
That he'd e'er scraped the bottom
Of the trim little Nancy Mcfay
Chorus - (Final)
- Stoney, 10 Sept. '94
Partying with a bunch of submariners back in the bad old days reminded me of how much fun you can have just sitting in a tavern tiltin' back a few with yer mates!
I decided to try my hand at a ballad.
