Subject: Nice Nellie Naylor
I can recall about three verses of a song my dad used to sing about the availability of women to sailors, and I have had no luck finding any additional verses (or confirming the three I recall).

Anyone know any more words to the song below?

Thanks,

Bill Barnert

Nice Nellie Naylor (Yo-de-yo-de-yo!)
Married a tailor, (Yo-de-yo-de-yo!)
Nice Nellie Naylor married a tailor,
But tell her you're a sailor! (Yo-de-yo-de-yo!)

Sweet Suzie Farber (Yo-de-yo-de-yo!)
Married a barber, (Yo-de-yo-de-yo!)
Sweet Suzie Farber married a barber,
But she'll be at the harbor! (Yo-de-yo-de-yo!)

(Sweet?) Lucy Lister (Yo-de-yo-de-yo!)
I never kissed her, (Yo-de-yo-de-yo!)
Sweet Lucy Lister, I never kissed her,
But she had a sister! (Yo-de-yo-de-yo!)
