Nelly Bly

	  		
verse 1 
C                                          G7 
Nelly Bly ! Nelly Bly! Bring the broom  al-ong, 
C                       F                   G7            C 
We'll sweep the kitchen clean, my dear, And have a little song. 
C                                              G7 
Poke the wood, my lady love, And make the fire burn, 
    C                F           G7                   C 
And while I take the banjo down, Just give the mush a turn. 

tabchorus
C F Heigh, Nelly! Ho, Nelly! C G7 Listen, love, to me, C F I'll sing for you and play for you G7 C A dulcet melo-dy.

verse 2 C G7 Nelly Bly has a voice like a turtle dove, C F G7 C I hear it in the meadow and I hear it in the grove. C G7 Nelly Bly has a heart warm as a cup of tea, C F G7 C And bigger than the sweet potatoes down in Tenne-ssee.
tabchorus
C F Heigh, Nelly! Ho, Nelly! C G7 Listen, love, to me, C F I'll sing for you and play for you G7 C A dulcet melo-dy.

verse 3 C G7 Nelly Bly shuts her eye when she goes to sleep. C F G7 C When she wakens up again her eyeballs start to peep. C G7 The way she walks, she lifts her foot, and then she bumps it down, C F G7 C And when it lights, there's music there in that part of the town.
tabchorus
C F Heigh, Nelly! Ho, Nelly! C G7 Listen, love, to me, C F I'll sing for you and play for you G7 C A dulcet melo-dy.

verse 4 C G7 Nelly Bly! Nelly Bly! Never, never sigh; C F G7 C Never bring the tear drop to the corner of your eye. C G7 For the pie is made of pumpkins and the mush is made of corn, C F G7 C And there's corn and pumpkins plenty, love, a-lyin' in the barn.
tabchorus
C F Heigh, Nelly! Ho, Nelly! C G7 Listen, love, to me, C F I'll sing for you and play for you G7 C A dulcet melo-dy. C F Heigh, Nelly! Ho, Nelly! C G7 Listen, love, to me, C F I'll sing for you and play for you G7 C A dulcet melo-dy.
