  -2*   3 -3  -3 -4 -3  -2*
There's a low green val-ley 
2  -1   3  -3   -4  4* -5
by the old Ken-tuck-y shore, 
  4*   -4     -3
where we've whiled 
-3 -3 -4  -3  -2* -1  2
man-y hap-py hours a-way, 
-2*3 -3  -3  -3 -4  -3  -2*
a   sit-ting and a sing-ing 
2  -1   3  -3  -4   4*   -5
by the lit-tle cot-tage door, 
4* -4  -3  4*-4 -3  3   -2* 2   -1
where lived my dar-ling Nel-ly Gray.

Oh my poor Nel-ly Gray,
 -3   3    3 -2* -2* -2-2*
they have tak-en you a-way, 
-2*  3   -3  -3 -3
and I'll nev-er see 
-3 -4   -3 -2* -1  2
my dar-ling an-y more, 
-2* 3 -3   -3  -3 -4  -3 -2*
I'm a sit-ting by the riv-er 
 2  -1   3   -3  -4   4* -5
and I'm weep-ing all the day, 
 4*   -4    -3   4*
for you've gone from 
-4  -3   3   -2* 2  -1
the old Ken-tuck-y shore.
