GUEST, Dale Lyr Req/ADD: Sweet Nola Shannon (W.R. Williams) (19) Lyr Add: SWEET NOLA SHANNON 11 Feb 03


This is what I had already transcribed from Bob's live version. I will check the tape I bought today at a later time.

Sweet Nola Shannon
written by W. P. Williams and published by Will Rossiter in 1897 (apparently a reprint of the 1895 sheetmusic)

In a shady dell, down by a flowing stream
Dwells sweet Nola Shannon, she's nature's queen
All the boys and girls around the neighborhood
Fall in love with Nola, just because she's good

Sweet Nola Shannon, Nola Shannon adore
Each time I see her, I love her more
Bright as the sunshine, she is the girl I prefer
She loves me truly, and I do love her

Every Sunday eve, at the hour of eight
Nola comes to greet me, at the garden gate
Arm in arm we stroll, through the shady dell
Twinkling stars may watch two kiss, but never tell
