Nellie Macey - song lyrics 
American Old-time song lyrics from www.traditionalmusic.co.uk 
NELLIE MACEY. Copyright, 1896, by Frank Harding. Written and Composed by Louis Brittany. 
Every evening, after supper, When my daily toil is o'er, To a little humble cottage by the sea I go to see my girl, Whom the boys call dancing Nell; She's the sweetest girl in all the world to me; Her name is Nellie Macey, And she nearly drives me crazy; At dancing she's a daisy, You should see her do the glide. I love her, oh, so dearly, Devoutly and sincerely, Some day she's promised she will be my bride. 
Refrain. Oh, Nellie Macey, She drives me crazy; All the boys and all the girls Say that she's a daisy; At ev'ry ball she leads them all; In the march she's number one, And I'm by her side, And she'll soon be my bride, As the dance goes on.-[Repeat.] We have built a little cottage, For the wedding day is near, With a little garden filled with pretty flowers; The lads and lassies all, Say they're going to make a call, To help as while away the golden hours; The church-bells will be ringing, The lads and lassies singing, Such presents will be bringing; I will give you all a chance To see us get united, So now you're all invited To attend the ceremony and the dance. - Refrain.
