GUEST,Bill.Barnert@teradyne.com Lyr Req: Nice Nellie Naylor (4) Nice Nellie Naylor 23 Jul 01

I can recall about three verses of a song my dad used to sing about the availability of women to sailors, and I have had no luck finding any additional verses (or confirming the three I recall).

Anyone know any more words to the song below?

Thanks,

Bill Barnert

But tell her you're a sailor! (Yo-de-yo-de-yo!)

But she'll be at the harbor! (Yo-de-yo-de-yo!)

But she had a sister! (Yo-de-yo-de-yo!)
