There's a low green val -ley on the old Ken -tuck -y shore

There I've whiled ma -ny hap -py hours a -way

And while sit -ting and a sing -ing by the lit -tle cot -tage door

Where lived my dar -ling Nel -lie Gray

Oh my dar -ling Nel -lie Gray they have tak -en her a way

And I'll nev -er see my dar -ling an -y more

I'm a sit -ting by the riv -er and I'm weep -ing all the way

For you've gone from the old Ken -tuck -y shore.
