Shaky Nancy Songtext
von Richard Thompson

Here she comes and there she goes
Nothing on her finger
Nothing on her toes
Why she comes nobody knows

Here comes Shaky Nancy
Don′t be believing
She melts in your hand
Runs with the tide
And she shifts with the sand
She sends you a message
And turns to stone
She's a hard girl Nancy


One cold morning
Ice on the sea
Shaky Nancy
Won′t you lean on me?
Must mean something
How can you lose?
There's nothing, choose
Or you're chancey

Oh, here she comes and there she goes
Nothing on her finger
Nothing on her toes
Why she comes nobody knows
Here comes Shaky Nancy

Nancy went walking
She′s gone for the day
When she comes back
She′s been two years away
There's still tears in her eyes
Oh say a prayer for Nancy

Here she comes and there she goes
Nothing on her finger
Nothing on her toes
Why she comes nobody knows
Here comes Shaky Nancy


Throw me a bottle
Throw me a bone
And you throw what′s left of me
Into the hole
I'll take a sleep
I′ll take a sleep
And I'll dream sweet dreams of Nancy

Here she comes and there she goes
Nothing on her finger
Nothing on her toes
Why she comes nobody knows
Here comes Shaky Nancy
