Nelly was a milkmaid fair & gay
Always took delight with young Roger to lay
She grew stout at the heart & big at the waist
She thought upon the kissing coming home from the wake
Nelly too-a-roo, Nelly too-a-roo
Fair lovely Nelly to the wake she did go

When 5 months was over & the months was gone
Nelly she brought forth a fine lovely son
"I will name it" said she "I will name it for his sake
And call it young Roger coming home from the wake
Nelly too-a-roo, &c.

[in hand, below the title:] D786
Note-book D.VII. p.66.	Mrs. Marina Russell,
				Upwey, Dorset.
				Jan/Feb. 1907.
Nelly was a milkmaid, fair and gay,
Always took delight with young Roger to lay,
She grew stout at the heart and big at the waist,
She thought upon the kissing coming home from the wake.
	Nelly too-a-roo, Nelly too-a-roo,
	Fair lovely Nelly to the wake she did go.

When five months was over and four months was gone,
Nelly she brought forth a fine lovely son,
"I will name it," said she, "I will name it for his sake,
And call it young Roger coming home from the wake."
	Nelly too-a-roo, &c.
