"My Darling Nellie Gray" lyrics
There's a low green valley on the old Kentucky shore
Where I whiled the many happy hours away
A-sittin' and a-singin' by the little cottage door
Where lived my darling, Nellie Gray
Oh, my poor Nellie Gray, they have taken you away
And I'll never see my darling anymore (Anymore)
I'm a-sittin' by the river and I'm weeping all the day
For you've gone from the old Kentucky shore
When the moon had climbed the mountain
And the stars were shining too
Then I'd take my darling, Nellie Gray
And we'd float down the river in my little red canoe
While my banjo I would sweetly play
Oh, my poor Nellie Gray, they have taken you away
And I'll never see my darling anymore (Anymore)
I'm a-sittin' by the river and I'm weeping all the day
For you've gone from the old Kentucky shore
Where I whiled the many happy hours away
A-sittin' and a-singin' by the little cottage door
Where lived my darling, Nellie Gray
Oh, my poor Nellie Gray, they have taken you away
And I'll never see my darling anymore (Anymore)
I'm a-sittin' by the river and I'm weeping all the day
For you've gone from the old Kentucky shore
When the moon had climbed the mountain
And the stars were shining too
Then I'd take my darling, Nellie Gray
And we'd float down the river in my little red canoe
While my banjo I would sweetly play
Oh, my poor Nellie Gray, they have taken you away
And I'll never see my darling anymore (Anymore)
I'm a-sittin' by the river and I'm weeping all the day
For you've gone from the old Kentucky shore
