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).

Printed source: Chappell (Popular Music of the Olden Time), vol. 2, 1859; p. 23.
