Darling Nelly Gray - Lyrics & Chords

| There's a |
low green valley by the |
old Kentucky shore, |
|
C |
D7 |

| Where we've |
whiled many happy |
hours |
away, |

| A-s |
itting and a-singing |
by the |
little cottage door, |
|
C |

| Where |
lived my |
darling Nelly |
Gray. |
Chorus:
|
G7 |

| Oh my |
poor Nelly Gray, they have |
taken you away, |
|
D7 |

| And I'll never see my darling |
any |
more. |
C C7 F F#min7
I'm a-sitting by the river and I'm weeping all the day,
|
C |
G7 |
C |
| For you're |
gone from the |
old Kentucky |
shore. |
One night I went to see her but "she's gone"
the neighbors say,
The white man bound her with his chain,
They have taken her to Georgia to wear her life away,
As she toils in the cotton and the cane.
