Nursie-Nursie
written and composed by Worton David & Bert Lee   1910

Performed by Clarice Mayne

She was a sweet little neat little nurse
He was her patient quite a long purse
And a most patient patient was he
She nursed him daily for he wasn't well
Though what really ailed him he couldn't quite tell
And for that matter neither could she
Still he liked her nursing and she liked his gold
And here is the sequel as I've heard it told

Nursie Nursie nursed her little Percy
In a persevering way
Nursie-Nursie persevered with Percy
Till at last as I've heard say
Percy-Percy fell in love with Nursie
And a year since they were wed
And now Nursie doesn't nurse her little Percy
Percy nurses Little Nursie instead

He seemed to get neither better nor worse
She got quute anxious for poor little nurse
Percy's ailment could not understand
His pulse was normal but curious to tell
He always complained that he didn't feel well
Unless Nursie kept hold of his hand
She called in the doctor who said with a wink
It's his heart that is wrong miss he's lost it I think


Nursie Nursie nursed her little Percy
In a persevering way
Nursie-Nursie persevered with Percy
Till at last as I've heard say
Percy-Percy married Nursie
It's a year since they were wed
And now Nursie doesn't nurse her little Percy
Percy nurses Little Nursie instead
