作词：Stephen Foster

作曲：Stephen Foster

Nelly Bly Nelly Bly bring the broom along

We'll sweep the kitchen clean my dear

And have a little song

Poke the wood my lady love

And make the fire burn

And while I take the banjo down

Just give the mush a turn

Hi Nelly ho Nelly

Listen love to me

I'll sing for you and play for you

A dulcet melody

Hi Nelly ho Nelly

Listen love to me

I'll sing for you and play for you

A dulcet melody

Nelly Bly has a voice like a turtle dove

I hear it in the meadow and I hear it in the grove

Nelly Bly has a heart warnn as a cup of tea

And bigger than the sweet potatoes down in Tennessee

Hi Nelly ho Nelly

Nelly Listen love to me

I'll sing for you and play for you

A dulcet melody

Hi Nelly ho Nelly Nelly

Listen love to me

I'll sing for you and play for you

A dulcet melody

Nelly Bly shuts her eye when she goes to sleep

When she wakens up again her eyeballs start to peep

The way she walks she lifts her foot

And then she bumps it down

And when it lights there's music there

In that part of the town

Hi Nelly ho Nelly Nelly

Listen love to me

I'll sing for you and play for you

A dulcet melody

Hi Nelly ho Nelly

Listen love to me

I'll sing for you and play for you

A dulcet melody
