Leaving Nancy - The Dubliners

In comes the train, and the whole platform shakes

It stops with a shudder, and a screaming of brakes

My leaving has come and my weary soul aches

I’m leaving my nancy o

You stand there beside me determinedly gay

We talk of the weather and events of the day

But your eyes tell me all that your lips would’nt say

Goodbye my nancy o

Cho

So come a little closer

Put your head upon my shoulder

And let me hold you one more time

Goodbye my nancy o

My suitcase is lifted and stoad on the train

A thousand regrets whirl around in my

Brain

The ache in my heart is a black sea of pain

I’m leaving my nancy o

You stand there before me so lovely to see

The grip of your hand is an unspoken plea

You’re not fooling yourself, and your’re not fooling me

Goodbye my nancy o

Cho

Our time has run out and the whistle has blown

And here i must leave you standing alone

We had so little time and now the times gone

I’m leaving my nancy o

And as the train starts gently to roll

And as i lean out for to wave and to call

I see the first tears trickling forth

Goodbye my nancy o

Cho
