| Oh the night was dark and stormy |
| When this message came to me |
| It was from my darling Nellie |
| Who is far across the sea |
| Oh dear Jack I know I’m dying |
| I’ve no friends or parents nigh |
| But remember dearest Jackie |
| There’s a home for us on high |
| Oh dear mother I must leave you |
| I must go across the sea |
| I must find my darling Nellie |
| Who so dearly cared for me |
| I was wondering through the grave yard |
| When found where Nellie lay |
| It was there my heart was broken |
| It was there I knelt and prayed |
| Now I’m left alone in sadness |
| On the fields the flowers wave |
| And the girl I love is sleeping |
| In the cold and silent grave |
| Lay me where my Nellie’s sleeping |
| Close beside her let me lie |
| Where the blooming flowers are creeping |
| There oh lay me when I die |
