The New York Public Library now has all the pages of the sheet music online, but I had to use some legerdemain to find it.

SWEET NOLA SHANNON
(W. R. Williams)

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

CHORUS
Sweet Nola Shannon, Nola Shannon asthore,
Each day I see you, I love you more;
Bright as the sunshine, she's the girl I prefer,
She loves me dearly, and I do love her.

Every Sunday night, at the hour of eight,
Nola comes to meet me at the garden gate;
Arm in arm we stroll all through the shady dell,
Twinkling stars can watch us kiss, but never tell.

Sweet Nola Shannon
written by W. R. Williams and published by Will Rossiter in 1897
