Nelly Bly! Nelly Bly!
bring the broom along
We'll sweep the kitchen clean, my dear,
and have a little song.
Poke the wood, my lady love,
and make the fire burn
And while I take the banjo down,
Just give the mush a turn
chorus
Heigh! Nelly, Ho! Nelly,
listen, love, to me.
I'll sing for you, play for you,
a dulcet melody.
