mim Origins: Darling Nelly Gray (21) RE: Darling Nellie Gray: song 03 Mar 97

One last verse, found in a 1915 songbook:

My eyes are getting blinded, and I cannot see my way:
Hark! There's somebody knocking at the door,
O, I hear the angels calling, and I see my Nelly Gray,
Farewell to the old Kentucky shore.

ENDING CHORUS: O my darling Nelly Gray, up in heaven there, they say,
That they'll never take you from me any more:
I'm a coming-coming-coming, as the angels clear the way,
Fare-well to the old Kentucky shore.
