Unknown - Seeing Nellie Home Lyrics

Seeing Nellie Home

In the sky the bright stars glittered
On the bank the pale moon shone
It was from Aunt Dinah's quilting party
I was seeing Nellie home

chorus
I was seeing Nellie home
I was seeing Nellie home
It was from Aunt Dinah's quilting party
I was seeing Nellie home

On my arm a soft hand rested
Rested light as ocean foam
It was from Aunt Dinah's quilting party
I was seeing Nellie home (chorus)

On my lips a whisper trembled
Trembled till it dared to come
It was from Aunt Dinah's quilting party
I was seeing Nellie home (chorus)

On my life new hopes were dawning
And those hopes have lived and grown
It was from Aunt Dinah's quilting party
I was seeing Nellie home (chorus)
