1
Standing in the moonlight by the old garden gate
2
Nellie, my darlin', I know you will wait
3
Wait for me, dearest, he said in tears
4
Then I'll be your sweetheart through all the long years
5
I love you Nellie, yes I'll be true
6
All these long years have been just for you
7
And believe me, Nellie, when I'm far away
8
I'll not forget you, I'll be with you someday
9
Early next morning at the break of day
10
He was to journey so far away
11
Drawing her nearer, his promised bride
12
By the pale moonlight these words he replied
13
I love you Nellie, yes I'll be true
14
All these long years have been just for you
15
And believe me, Nellie, when I'm far away
16
I'll not forget you, I'll be with you someday
17
Nellie my darling, I'm coming home
18
The pilgramage over, no longer to roam
19
But the wedding was over, the knot had been tied
20
And he found his own sweetheart another man's bride.
21
Later they found him lying cold on the grass
22
A pistol beside him held so hard and fast
23
Then came the note that explained the deed
24
And in the pale moonlight these words you could read
25
I love you, Nellie, yes I've been true
26
All of my life has been just for you
27
And believe me, Nellie, when I'm far away
28
I'll not forget you, though I fade fast away.
