Nellie Gray

There's a low green valley on the old Kentucky shore
There I've whiled many happy hours away
A-sitting and a-singing 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 any more

I'm sitting by the river
And I'm weeping all the day
For you've gone from the old Kentucky shore
