Oh, the night was dark and stormy, when this me….ssage came to me,
E A
it was from my darling Nellie, who is far across the sea.

Oh dear Jack, I know I'm dying, I've no friends nor parents nigh,
A E A
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,
E A
I must find my darling Nellie, who so dea…...rly cared for me.

I was wandering through the grave yard, when I found where Nellie lay,
A E A
it was there my heart was broken, it was there I knelt and prayed.

Now I'm left alone in sadness on the fields of flowery Spain,
E A
and the girl I love is sleeping in the cold and silent grave.
D A E
Lay me where my Nellie's sleeping, close beside her let me lie,
A
where the blooming flowers are creeping,
E A
there, oh lay me, when I die.
