Darling Nellie Gray
There's a low green valley
On the old Kentucky shore
Where I've whiled many happy hours away
A sitting and a singing
By the little cottage door
Where dwelt my lovely Nellie Gray
Oh, my poor Nellie Gray!
They have taken you away
And I'll never see my darling any more
I am sitting by the river
And I'm weeping all the day
For you've gone from the old Kentucky shore
One night I went to see her
But she's gone, the neighbors say
The white man bound her with his chain
They have taken her to Georgia
For to wear her life away
As she toils in the cotton and the cane, aah
Oh, my poor Nellie Gray!
They have taken you away
And I'll never see my darling anymore
I'm sitting by the river
And I'm weeping all the day
For you've gone from the old Kentucky shore
On the old Kentucky shore
Where I've whiled many happy hours away
A sitting and a singing
By the little cottage door
Where dwelt my lovely Nellie Gray
Oh, my poor Nellie Gray!
They have taken you away
And I'll never see my darling any more
I am sitting by the river
And I'm weeping all the day
For you've gone from the old Kentucky shore
One night I went to see her
But she's gone, the neighbors say
The white man bound her with his chain
They have taken her to Georgia
For to wear her life away
As she toils in the cotton and the cane, aah
Oh, my poor Nellie Gray!
They have taken you away
And I'll never see my darling anymore
I'm sitting by the river
And I'm weeping all the day
For you've gone from the old Kentucky shore
