| Sir Harry Lauder |
She's as pure as a lily in the dell,
She's sweet as the heather, the bonnie bloomin' heather,
Mary, my Scots bluebell.
This extremely popular music hall song comes from the great Scottish entertainer, Sir Harry Lauder whom Winston Churchill described as “Scotland’s greatest ambassador ever.”
Harry Lauder made a name for himself in Scottish music halls in the early 1900’s. Known for his keen wit and his rousing sonds, he quickly became a celebrated figure all over Britain. Lauder, for the most part, wrote all of his own songs. This one, it is believed, was inspired by his deep affection for his wife, Nancy.
