'''BONNY NELL'''. English, Country Dance Tune (6/8 time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. Chappell states the tune was originally a ballad tune, though the words had been lost by his time. He found a few references to the ballad, one as early as 1622 when it was mentioned in '''The Anatomie of the English Nunnery''' at Lisbon and was apparently a favorite with the nuns of the convent. The melody appears in '''Apollo's Banquet for the Treble Violin''' (1670).
