Gosport Nancy (capo 2 for original but easier to sing without capo i.e. in key of C)
C G C
Nancy Johnson, she's my darling she’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, but if you're
C F C G C
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 but for
C F C G C
Knocking it back with Honest Jack there's none like my girl Nan.
CHORUS:
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.
G C
Gosport girls,they're good at dancing they’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 there’s none like my girl Nan.
CHORUS

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 but for

Making a bed for a sailor's head there's none like my girl Nan
