Thread Name: Faithless Nancy Dawson
Subject: RE: Faithless Nancy Dawson
Just looked up A-Rovin' in Stan Hugill's Shanties from the Seven Seas. It gives under version (d), the additional verse:
In Number One New England Square,
Me Nancy Dawson she lives there.
Not Faithless Nancy Dawson, but close.
His verse 20 in version (a) is:
Now when I got back from sea,
A soger had her on his knee.
Which is certainly faithless!
