Hey Nellie Nellie |
| Hey Nellie, Nellie, come to the window |
| Hey Nellie, Nellie, look at what I see |
| He’s ridin' into town on a sway-back mule |
| He’s got a tall black hat and he looks like a fool |
| But he sure is talkin' like he’s been to school, and it’s 1853 |
| Hey Nellie, Nellie, hear what he’s sayin' |
| Hey Nellie, Nellie, says it’s gettin' late |
| Says all them black folks should be free |
| To walk around the same as you and me |
| He’s talkin' about a thing they call democracy, and it’s 1858 |
| Hey Nellie, Nellie, come to the window |
| Hey Nellie, Nellie, hand me down my gun |
| For the men are cheerin' and the boys are too |
| They’re all puttin' on their coats of blue |
| And I ain’t got no time to sit and talk to you, and it’s 1861 |
| Hey Nellie, Nellie, come to the window |
| Hey Nellie, Nellie, I’ve come back alive |
| My coat of blue is stained with red |
| And the man in the tall black hat is dead |
| But we sure will remember all the things he said, and it’s 1865 |
| Hey Nellie, Nellie, come to the window |
| Hey Nellie, Nellie, look at what I see |
| There are white folks and colored walkin' side by side |
| A-marchin' in a column that’s a century wide |
| It was a long and a hard and a bloody ride, and it’s 1963 |
