There's a low green valley on the old Kentucky shore,

There I've whiled many happy hours away.

And while sitting and a singing by the little cottage door,

Where lived my darling Nellie Gray.

Oh my darling Nellie Gray they have taken her a way,

And I'll never see my darling any more.

I'm a sitting by the river and I'm weeping all the way,

For you've gone from the old Kentucky shore.
