Lyrics
I know of a tavern not far from here
I am aware of a tavern nearby.
Where you can get some mighty fine beer
They serve excellent beer at this place.
The company's true and the wenches are pretty
The people are genuine, and the barmaids are attractive.
It's the greatest damn place in the whole of the city
This tavern is considered the best in the entire city.
If you're looking for crewmates, you'll sure find 'em there
If you seek companions for a journey, you'll find them there.
Cutthroats and lowlifes and worse I should dare
Various dubious individuals, including criminals, can be found.
Ol' Nancy don't care who comes to her inn
The owner, Nancy, is indifferent to the clientele.
It's a den of debauchery violence and sin
Describing the tavern as a place of excessive indulgence, violence, and sin.
So come take a drink and drown your sorrows
Encouraging people to drink and forget their troubles.
And all of our fears will be gone till tomorrow
Promising that worries will vanish until the next day.
We'll have no regrets and live for the day
Suggesting a carefree, live-in-the-moment lifestyle.
In Nancy's harbor cafe
Referring to the tavern as Nancy's harbor cafe.
So come take a drink and drown your sorrows
Repeating the call to drink and escape from troubles.
And all of our fears will be gone till tomorrow
Reiterating the temporary relief from fears until the next day.
We'll have no regrets and live for the day
Emphasizing the idea of living without regrets.
In Nancy's harbor cafe
Repeating the identification of the tavern as Nancy's harbor cafe.
If you're looking to go on a glorious quest
If interested in a grand adventure,
There's a man there who knows of an old treasure chest
There's a knowledgeable man who knows of an old treasure.
For some pieces of eight and a tankard of ale
For payment, he will share the map and its story.
He'll show you the map and tell you it's tale
Linking the quest to a tankard of ale and pieces of eight.
And then there's Nancy, the lovely barmaiden
Introducing Nancy, an aging but still beautiful barmaid.
She may be old but her beauty ain't fading
Highlighting Nancy's enduring beauty.
Ol' Nancy don't care who comes to her inn
Reiterating Nancy's non-discriminatory attitude toward patrons.
It's a den of debauchery violence and sin
Describing the tavern again as a place of indulgence, violence, and sin.
So come take a drink and drown your sorrows
Repeating the invitation to drink away sorrows.
And all of our fears will be gone till tomorrow
Reiterating the promise of temporary relief from fears.
We'll have no regrets and live for the day
Encouraging a carefree, regret-free lifestyle.
In Nancy's harbor cafe
