Nancy

Nancy is the only girl
That I have ever loved
I see her every morning
When the sun comes rising up
And if I had the courage to
I’d come to her and say
Will you dance with me Nancy
All the diddley I-en day
Will we dance
All the diddley I-en day

Nancy makes her way to work
Smiling bright and fair
She opens up the general shop
With flowers in her hair
As I walk the road behind her
I whisper and I pray
Will you dance with me Nancy
All the diddley I-en day
Will we dance
All the diddley I-en day

A hand upon the handle
And I’m standing in the store
Her sweet hello gets me to glow
Just like it’s done before
But I can feel my cheeks are rosey
I’m too red I can’t relay
Will you dance with me Nancy
All the diddley I-en day
Will we dance
All the diddley I-en day

I wander and I wonder
If I’m ever gonna get
The grit to court a girl like this
I haven’t found it yet
And I mumble as I stumble
And Friday starts to fade
Will you dance with me Nancy
All the diddley I-en day
Will we dance
All the diddley I-en day

And now the light is fading
And she’s closing, closing time
The sun is done, the dusk is on
And I’m wishing upon high
That the man in the moon would wink
And make the words all come my way
Will you dance with me Nancy
All the diddley I-en day
Will we dance
All the diddley I-en day

Nancy’s walking my way
With the evening in her eyes
As I step out, without a doubt
She slows and breaks her stride
Is she waiting like I’m wanting
For me to humbly whisper, “hey”
Will you dance with me Nancy
All the diddley I-en day
Will we dance
All the diddley I-en day

Now the legion’s loading up
As fast as Friday night
The band is on the stand
And Nancy’s hand is holding mine
I’m glad her head is on my shoulder
And I got the guts to say
Will you dance with me Nancy
All the diddley I-en day
Will we dance
All the diddley I-en day
