Thread Name: Lyr Req: Princess Royal
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Princess Royal. Lyrics required.
The Ilmington (Warwickshire) Morris tune Nelson's Praise is a variant of The Princess Royal. Cecil Sharp got a song, Bold Nelson's Praise, from Tom Gardiner of Blackwell, Warwickshire (Worcestershire at the time), in September 1909, which was sung to a Princess Royal variant, and this is probably the song meant. It has been published several times.
