Christy Moore - Tippin' It Up To Nancy Lyrics
Oh, there's been a woman in our town, a woman you ought know well
She dearly loved her husband and another man twice as well
With me right finnickineerio, me tip finnick a wall
With me right finnickineerio, we're tipping it up to Nancy
She went down to the chemist shop some remedies for to buy
Have you anything in your chemist shop to make me old man blind?
"Give him eggs and marrowbones and make him suck them all
Before he has the last one sucked, he won't see you at all"
She gave him eggs and marrowbones and made him suck them all
Before he had the last one sucked, he couldn't see her at all
If in this world I cannot see, here I cannot stay
She led him to the river, she led him to the brim
But sly enough of Martin, it was him that shoved her in
She swam through the river, she swam through the brine
"Oh Martin, dear Martin. Don't leave me behind"
"Oh Martin, dear Martin. Don't leave me behind"
"Yerra shut up outa that ye silly aul fool, ye know poor Martin is blind"
There's nine in me family and none of them is my own
I wish that each and every man would come and claim his own

Christy Moore Tippin' It Up To Nancy Comments
How did he go blind by eating eggs and marrow? She must have put something in them.
He didn't go blind. He just pretended to because he was on to her intentions. The druggist probably tipped him off. She was "a silly old fool" and sly Martin got the best of her.
Yes, I think you’re right. I think she was cheating on him with the druggist. I think he went to Martin and told him everything. Including that his kids weren’t really his.
A wife knocks off her husband for the sake of another man
What kind of screwed morality do Micks have
A song about a wife trying to kill off her husband off, makes him blind to push him in the river he catches onto whats going on and pushes her in instead but he cant save her because hes now blind! ha love it
Me da would play tb
That's one heck of a beautifully deep bodhran.
I'd love to find one like that. Any suggestions ?
bakedbean37 2 inch ring of electrical tape around the outer face of the drum. Will make your drum sound a lot deeper
bakedbean37 try wetting your drum to tune it
MrCarlowj Ive used the conditioning cream which seems to last longer than wetting. I'm in northern Canada so it's pretty dry here
lovely song!!😄
Róisín Hickey, lovely name.
