Standing in the moonlight by the old garden gate Nellie, my darlin', I know you will wait Wait for me, dearest, he said in tears Then I'll be your sweetheart through all the long years. I love you Nellie, yes I'll be true All these long years have been just for you And believe me, Nellie, when I'm far away I'll not forget you, I'll be with you someday. Early next morning at the break of day He was to journey so far away Drawing her nearer, his promised bride By the pale moonlight these words he replied. I love you Nellie, yes I'll be true All these long years have been just for you And believe me, Nellie, when I'm far away I'll not forget you, I'll be with you someday... Standing in the moonlight by the old garden gate Nellie, my darlin', I know you will wait Wait for me, dearest, he said in tears Then I'll be your sweetheart through all the long years. I love you Nellie, yes I'll be true All these long years have been just for you And believe me, Nellie, when I'm far away I'll not forget you, I'll be with you someday. Early next morning at the break of day He was to journey so far away Drawing her nearer, his promised bride By the pale moonlight these words he replied. I love you Nellie, yes I'll be true All these long years have been just for you And believe me, Nellie, when I'm far away I'll not forget you, I'll be with you someday...
