about

Many years ago, on a dark, snowy winters evening, I met a an old girl friend of mine called Nancy. We talked for a while and soon went our separate ways. A little while later I remembered than Nancy had died a few years before. I turned around and Nancy was gone. I had met Nancy’s ghost.

lyrics

Nancy

By Bill Bates

In deep dark mid-winter with snow falling fast,
I met up with Nancy a girl from my past
I asked, "Are you well" but, Nancy said "No"
So I offered her shelter from the snow

Poor little Nancy 'oh. Poor little Nancy 'oh

We entered my flat and turned up the heat
I slipped the shoes from her feet
We talked for a while and we reminisced
And a little while later I gave Nancy a kiss
Poor little Nancy 'oh. Poor little Nancy 'oh

I remember a time when our love was new
Dear Nancy so kind, our love was true
But she found another, and my world came to an end
Now in deep dark mid-winter
I just pretend

Poor little Nancy 'oh. Poor little Nancy 'oh

In deep dark mid-winter. With snow falling fast
I met up with Nancy. A girl from my past

about

Bill Bates Royal Leamington Spa, UK

I am a Warwickshire based singer songwriter and I perform my songs in folk clubs and festivals. My songs are (almost) autobiographical and often about the ordinary things in life, such as caravan holidays, recycling and a song about a Mars Bar party (where people are supposed to have took their clothes off!) Some of my songs are funny, other songs are serious; either way I hope you like them! ... more
