Standing in the moonlight by the old garden gate
G
Nellie my darling I know you will wait
D7
Wait for me dearest he said in tears
G
Then I’ll be your sweetheart through all the long years
D7
I love you Nellie yes I’ll be true
G
All these long years have been just for you

And believe me Nellie when I’m far away

G
I’ll not forget you I’ll be with you someday
D7
Early next morning at the break of day
G
He was to journey so far away
D7
Drawing her nearer his promised bride
G
By the pale moonlight these words he replied
D7
I love you Nellie yes I’ll be true
G
All these long years have been just for you
G7
C
And believe me Nellie when I’m far away
