[1] Oh the night was [4] dark and [1] stormy When this message [5] came to [1] me It was from my [4] darling [1] Nellie Who had sailed a-[5]-cross the [1] sea
[4] I was wandering through the [1]graveyard When I found where Nellie [5] lay It was [1] there my [4] heart was [1] broken It was there I [5] knelt to [1] pray
I must leave my aged mother I must go across the sea There to see my darling Nellie For she means so mcuh to me
Just remember darlin' Nellie There's a call for us on high And we'll be up there together When they lay me down to die
