OH NO! WE NEVER MENTION HER. English, Air. C Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. A sentimental song by Thomas Haynes Bayly (1797-1839), an English poet and playwright who also penned "Long, Long Ago." From the appearance of the published American cover, it was performed on the minstrel stage. The title is taken from the lines:

Oh no! we never mention her,
Her name is never heard;
My lips are now forbid to speak
That once familiar word. Oh no! we never mention her.
