Nelly Bly

Nelly Bly
by Stephen Foster

Nelly Bly! Nellie Bly! Bring de broom along,
We'll sweep the kitchen clean, my dear, and hab a little song.

Poke de wood, my lady lub, And make de fire burn,
And while I take de banjo down, Just gib de mush a turn.

Heigh! Nelly Ho! Nelly, listen, lub, to me,
I'll sing for you and play for you a dulcem melody.

Nelly Bly hab a voice like de turtle dove,
I hear it in de meadow and I hear it in de grove.

Nelly Bly hab a heart warm as it can be,
And bigger dan de sweet potato down in Tennessee.

Heigh! Nelly Ho! Nelly, listen, lub, to me,
I'll sing for you and play for you a dulcem melody.
