NELLIE WAS A LADY chrom
By: Stephen C. Foster
Key: G
3 3 -1 2 3 3 -3 -4 -3
Down on the Mis-sis-sip-pi float-ing,
-4 -3 3 2 -2* 3 -3 3
Long have I trav-el�d on my way,
3 3 -1 2 3 3 -3 -4 -3
All night the cot-ton-wood a tot-in�,
-4 -3 3 2 -2* 3 -3 3
Sing for my true love all the day.
Chorus.
-1 -1 3 -1 2 3
Nel-lie was a la-dy,
-3 -3 3 -3
Last night she died;
-4 -4 -3 3 2 3 3...
Toll the bell for lit-tle Nell,
-3 -4 3 -3 -3 3
My dear Vir-gin-ny bride.
Now I'm unhappy, and I'm weeping,
Can't toat the cotton any more;
Last night while Nelly was a-sleeping,
Death came a-knocking at the door.-Chorus.
When I saw my Nelly in the morning
Smile till she open up her eyes,
Seem'd like the light of day a-dawning.
Just before the sun begins to rise.-Chorus.
Close by the margin of the water,
Where the lone weeping-willow grows,
There lived Virginny's lovely daughter,
There she in death may find repose.-Chorus.
Down in the meadow among the clover,
Walk with my Nelly by my side;
Now all those happy days are over-
Farewell, my dark Virginny bride!-Chorus.
