Nancy Brown

Tune: ???

Way out in West Virginia lived a gal named Nancy Brown,
You ain't never seen such beauty in a city nor a town,
Oh she lived up in the mountain,
Yes she lived up in the mountains,
Oh she lived up in the mountain mighty high,
And so it is related not a bit contaminated,
She was as pure as the West Virginia sky.

Now there came the local cowboy with his guitar and his song,
He took Nancy to the mountain be she still knew right from wrong,
She came rollin' down the mountain,
She came rollin' down the mountain,
She came rollin' down the mountain mighty fine.
And despite that cowboy's urgin' she remained the village virgin.
She was as pure as the West Virginia sky.

Then there came the village deacon with his phrases sweet and kind,
He took Nancy to the mountain but she still could read his mind,
She came rollin' down the mountain,
She came rollin' down the mountain,
She came rollin' down the mountain mighty fine.
And they say that there deacon didn't get what he was seekin',
She was as pure as the West Virginia sky.

But there came the city slicker with his thousand dollar bills,
He put Nancy in his Packard and drove up in them thar hills,
Oh they stayed up in the mountain,
She was laid up in the mountain,
Oh they stayed up in the mountain all that night,
She came down next mornin' early more a woman than a girl,
And her mother kicked the hussey out of sight.

TAG - SHORT TUNE - SLOW
Now to end our little ditty finds Nancy in the city,
An by all accounts she's doin' might swell,
For she's winin',
And she's dinin',
And she's on her back reclinin',
And those West Virginia skies can go to hell.

LONG TUNE - AT TEMPO
But there came the big depression caught our slicker by the pants,
He had to sell his Packard and give up his little Nance,
So she went back to the mountain,
Yes she went back to the mountain,
Oh she went back to the mountain mighty sore,
Now the cowboy and the deacon get thing that they were seekin',
For she's nothing but a West Virginia whore!
