Eddy Arnold - Darling Nellie Gray lyrics

There's a long green valley on the old Kentucky shore Where I whiled the many happy hours away A sittin' and a singin' by the little cottage door Where live my darling, Nellie Gray. Oh, my poor Nellie Gray they have taken you away And I'll never see my darling anymore I'm a sittin' by the river and I'm weeping all the day For you've gone from the old Kentucky shore. --- Instrumental --- When the moon had climbed the mountain And the stars were shining to Then I'd take my darling, Nellie Gray And we'd float down the river in my little red canoe. While my banjo I was sweetly played. Oh, my poor Nellie Gray they have taken you away And I'll never see my darling anymore I'm a sittin' by the river and I'm weeping all the day For you've gone from the old Kentucky shore...
