Lyrics:
Fanny Frail is fair and handsome
Fanny Frail is fine and free
Fanny Frail is a pretty little thing
But Sally is the one for me.
Sally is the girl I fancy
Sally is the one she's the one for me
O Fanny's all right on a Saturday night
But Sally is the one for me.
"Fanny Frail" is based on the Evesham stick dance which comes from the Vale of Evesham<br> in the Wychavon district of Worcestershire, southern England.<br> The parts are played A AB AB AC.<br> Several sides dance a variation of it, some so different that they hardly seem to be the<br> same dance. This is partly due to vague collected notation and partly due to individual tastes.<br> This is a simple traditional dance with singing - one of the few that I have found.<br> The traditional dance has a short stick in the right hand and a hanky in the left one.<br> The last half of the C part melody sounds a lot like Dan Emmet's "Polly Woddle Doodle".<br>
