Here she comes and there she goes
Nothing on her fingers, 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'll send you a message and turn 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 choosy or chancy
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
Who'll say a prayer for Nancy?
Throw me a bottle, throw me a bowl
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
