Darlin' Nellie Across the Sea

1 4 1
Oh the night was dark and stormy
5 1
When this message came to me
4 1
It was from my darling Nellie
5 1
Who had sailed across the sea

4 1
I was wandering through the graveyard
5
When I found where Nellie lay
1 4 1
It was there my heart was broken
5 1
It was there I knelt to 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
