the nancy
Singer: stan rogers
what clothes men wear do give them airs
the fellows do compare
a colonel's regimentals shine
and women call him fair
i am alexander macintosh
nephew to the laird
and i do disdain men who are vain
the men with powdered hair
i command the nancy schooner from the moy on lake st. claire
on the third day of october
boys
i did set sail from there
to the garrison at amherstburg i quickly would repair
with captain maxwell and his wife and kids and powdered hair
aboard the nancy
in regimentals bright
aboard the nancy
with all his pomp and bluster there
aboard the nancy-o
below the st. clair rapids i sent scouts unto the shore
to ask a friendly whyandot to say what lay before
amherstburg has fallen
