My Nellie's Blue Eyes (Scanlon: Air, Vieni Sul Mar arr. Forman) 1883, performers: Tom Costello, J Fuller (Mohawk Minstrels), William Scanlon (Christy Minstrels)
Vieni Sul Mar is a Venetian ballad, famously recorded by Caruso.

In 1886 the tune was used again for Charles Coburn's more famous 'Two Lovely Black Eyes'.
