stephen foster – nelly was a lady lyrics
Loading...
down on the mississippi floating
long time i travel on the way
all night the cottonwood a-toting
sing for my true love all the day
now i’m unhappy, and i’m weeping
can’t tote the cottonwood no more;
last night, while nelly was a-sleeping
death came a-knocking at the door
nelly was a lady
last night, she died
toll the bell for lovely nell
my dark virginny bride
when i saw my nelly in the morning
smile till she opened up her eyes
seemed like the light of day a-dawning
just ‘fore the sun begin to rise
down in the meadow, ‘mong the clover
walk with my nelly by my side;
now all them happy days are over
farewell, my dark virginny bride
nelly was a lady
last night, she died
toll the bell for lovely nell
my dark virginny bride
