Artist/Band: The Dubliners
Lyrics for Song: Leaving Nancy
Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - The Dubliners



In comes the train and the whole platform shakes

It stops with a shudder and a screaming of brakes

The parting has come and my weary soul aches

I'm leaving my Nancy, oh



But you stand there so calmly determinedly gay

You talk of the weather and events of the day

And your eyes tell me all that your tongue doesn't say

Goodbye my Nancy, oh



And come a little closer

Put your head upon my shoulder

And let me hold you one last time

Before the whistle blows



My suitcase is lifted and stowed on the train

And a thousand regrets whirl around in my brain

The ache in my heart is a black sea of pain

I'm leaving my Nancy, oh



But you stand there beside me so lovely to see

The grip of your hand is an unspoken plea

You're not fooling yourself and you're not fooling me

Goodbye my Nancy, oh



And come a little closer

Put your head upon my shoulder

And let me hold you one last time

Before the whistle blows



But our time has run out and the whistle has blown

Here I must leave you standing alone

We had so little time and now the time's gone

Goodbye my Nancy, oh



And as the train starts gently to roll

And as I lean out to wave and to call

I see the first tears trickle and fall

Goodbye my Nancy, oh



And come a little closer

Put your head upon my shoulder

And let me hold you one last time

Before the whistle blows

And let me hold you one last time

Before the whistle blows
