Paroles de Darling Nellie Across The Sea

Oh the night was dark and stormy When this message came to me It was from my darling Nellie Who is far across the sea Oh dear Jack I know I'm dying I've no friends or parents nigh But remember dearest Jackie There's a home for us on high Oh dear mother I must leave you I must go across the sea I must find my darling Nellie Who so dearly cared for me I was wondering through the grave yard When found where Nellie lay It was there my heart was broken It was there I knelt and prayed Now I'm left alone in sadness On the fields the flowers wave And the girl I love is sleeping In the cold and silent grave Lay me where my Nellie's sleeping Close beside her let me lie Where the blooming flowers are creeping There oh lay me when I die
