Subject: Lyr Req: Marching to Nellie Dean
Friend of mine (now deceased) served in Black Watch being a serving soldier in Yorks and Lancs (I think) in 1939 and used to sing to march time 'Nellie Dean' variant
Anybody know this?
One bit had, 'Where I bust your jelly bean sweet Nellie Dean,' and the waters as they sweetly flow they seem to murmer soft and low your my hearts delight I love you so, Nellie Dean, Nellie Dean!
