[Dm]Oh, [C]the moon[F]light's fair tonight
[A]Along the[Bb] Wabash[D][G]
From the fields there comes the

[F#dim]New -morn hay.[C]
[Dm]Through the [C]syca[F]mores,
the [A]candlelight is [Bb]gleaming
[G]on [Abdim]the banks of [F]the Wabas[G]h.
[C]Far [F]away, far [Abdim]away.[Gdim][G][F]
[C]In the [F]sky [C]the [Bb]bright stars [F]glittered,
[Bb]On the banks the pale moon s[C]hone,
And so strong and [F]diamonds [Bb]quilting,
Hardly I was [C]seeing Nelly [F]home.
I was seeing [Bb]Nellie [F]-O
I was [Bb]seeing Nellie [F]-O[C]
[F]And was from a diner's [Bb]welding party
I was [C]seeing Nellie [F]-O
I was seeing Nel[Bb]lie [F]-O
I was [Bb]seeing Nellie [F]-O
[C]And it was fro[F]m Aunt
Dinah's [Bb]quilting party
[C]I was seeing Nellie h[F]ome.
