| NANCY DAWSON, Nancy Dawson, | |
| Not so very long ago | |
| Some one wronged you from sheer love, dear; | |
| Little thinking it would crush, dear, | |
| All I cherished in you so. | 5 |
| But now, what’s the odds, my Nancy? | |
| Where ’s the guinea, there ’s the fancy. | |
| Are you Nancy, that old Nancy? | |
| Nancy Dawson. | |
| |
| Nancy Dawson, Nancy Dawson, | 10 |
| I forget you, what you were; | |
| Till I feel the sad hours creep, dear, | |
| O’er my heart; as o’er my cheek, dear, | |
| Once of old, that old, old hair: | |
| And then, unawares, my Nancy, | 15 |
| I remember, and I fancy | |
| You are Nancy, that old Nancy; | |
| Nancy Dawson. | |
