Darling Nellie Gray

(アルバム： Our Man Down South - 1962)

There's a long green valley on the old Kentucky shore
Where I whiled the many happy hours away
A sitting and a singing by the little cottage door
Where live my darling, Nellie Gray

Oh, my poor Nellie Gray they have taken you away
And I'll never see my darling anymore
I'm a sitting 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 to
Then I'd take my darling, Nellie Gray
And we'd float down the river in my little red canoe
While my banjo I was sweetly played

Oh, my poor Nellie Gray they have taken you away
And I'll never see my darling anymore
I'm a sitting by the river and I'm weeping all the day
For you've gone from the old Kentucky shore...
