Song
“I'll sing of a lass and her name It was Nell...”
I'll sing of a lass and her name
It was Nell
She lived in a house with her
Granny quite well. The house it was small and the window was less.
It had but four panes and one wanted glass.
Such a nice little window, a bony we window
Twas the nicest wee window I ever did see.
II
Now it happened one night Granny went to her bed
And Johnny the fondest true love Nellie had
Came over the mountains his true lover to see
And under the window there planted was he
At the nice little window The bony we window
Twas the nicest wee, window I ever did see.(continues on next page)
