# Verse 1
C                                          G7
Nelly Bly ! Nelly Bly ! Bring the broom  along,
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.
 
# Chorus x2
C            F
Hey, Nelly ! Ho, Nelly !
C                G7
Listen, love, to me,
C                      F
I'll sing for you and play for you

A dulcet melody.
 
# 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 Tennessee.

Listen, love, to me,

A dulcet melody.
 
# 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.
 
# Chorus x2

Listen, love, to me,
C                      F
I'll sing for you and play for you
G7           C
A dulcet melody.
 
# 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, alyin' in the barn.

I'll sing for you and play for you
G7           C
A dulcet melody.
