VERSE 1
In th skies, th bright stars glitter
On th bank, th pale moon shone
An' t'was from Aunt Dinhas quilting party
I was see-ing Nellie home
VERSE 2
I was see-ing Nellie home
I was see-ing Nellie home
An' t'was from Aunt Dinhas quilting party
I was see-ing Nellie home
VERSE 3
On my arm, a soft hand rested
Rested light as ocean foam
An' t'was from Aunt Dinhas quilting party
I was see-ing Nellie home
VERSE 4
On my lips, a whisper trembled
Trembled till it dare to come
An' t'was from Aunt Dinhas quilting party
I was see-ing Nellie home
VERSE 5
On my life new hopes were dawning
An' those hopes have lived and grown
An' t'was from Aunt Dinhas quilting party
I was see-ing Nellie home
