NANCY MILES Foster and Allen
Intro F G C
C Nancy was a G tinker girl, C roamed the country roads
And I will tell you how she F came to be a C legend in her G time
The C reason I have G come to know, C 'cause a tinker told me so
Who's there could F better know, the G tale of Nancy C Miles
Nancy's father G Tinker Dan, C was a proud but honest man
Em Drove a horse drawn C caravan, all through the Emerald G Isle
And when Nancy was no more a child, C Dan he didn't have to toil
Men would come from F far and wide, to G play for Nancy C Miles
C There's pretty girls in magazines, and movie stars and beauty queens
Nancy was the prettiest girl, a man could ever G see
The gleam of love was in her eyes, and C when she'd look at you and smile
'Twould make you feel that F you were just the G man she longed to C see
Before the age of G twenty-one, a C hundred men had come and gone
None of them could win the gleam of love that was in her G eyes
Then sure C every man who G loved her then, C never was the same again
His Em memory was F haunted, with G thoughts of Nancy C Miles
Change key up to D
In D every town and A village too, the D fame of Nancy grew and grew
Soon her name was G spoken, at D many a camp fire A side
And in D Ballinasloe, on A Horse Fair Day, when D tinker men would have their say
Many a fight was G fought to win the A court of Nancy D Miles
D I hope that you don't A get me wrong, 'cause Nancy D was the sweetest one
Heart so full of G kindness, and as D charming as her A smile
And she D was known through A out the land, as D queen of all the tinker clan
Was the dream of G every man, to A marry Nancy D Miles
D Before the age of A thirty-one, a D thousand men had come and gone
None of them could win the gleam of love that was in her A eyes
D every man who A loved her then, D never was the same again
His memory was G haunted, with A thoughts of Nancy D Miles
D G A D
D Then there came the A saddest day, D Nancy's father passed away
The loss it grieved her G dearly, and her D heart was filled with A pain
And D family friends and A courtin' men, D never saw her smile again
A change had taken G place within the A heart of Nancy D Miles
D Before the age of A forty-one, Nancy G she had D come and gone
They searched the county over, not a trace of her could A find
D Nancy's memory A will live on, as D long as tinker men are born
Proudly they will G sing this song, the A tinker Nancy D Miles
