Thread Name: Tune Req: Nancy Dawson
Subject: RE: Tune Req: Help: Searching for song Nancy Dawson
See how she comes to bring surprise
With joy and pleasure in her eyes
To give delight she always tries
So means my Nancy Dawson

I gather from my laconic 'etc' that there are more verses but as usual I made no record of my source.

It was/is used by a couple of Morris sides - possibly Royton and almost definitely Manley - at least it was in the 1960's. The figure 'cross morris' or 'number four' was also called 'Nancy' even if not danced to the tune.
