Ajoutée par gorden-gibson, 14 Aoû 2015 "Nelly Bly" is a minstrel song published in 1850 by Firth, Pond & Co. of New York. According to Ken Emerson, the titular character was a servant who poked her head out of a cellar door to listen to Foster serenade friends. The name struck Foster’s fancy, and she appeared as a guest at a ball in "Oh! Lemuel!" (1849). "Nelly Bly" anticipates the joys of marriage and housekeeping, according to Emerson, and its melody has a “merry, nursery-rhyme charm”. He describes the song as a “sweet and domestic idyll".
