The words are Denny Murphy's Daughter Nell, waits for me after tea, she knows well, she dare not tell that she's in love with me, but one of these days when I get a raise, the boy that she loves to well, will marry Denny Murphy's Daughter Nell. Thanks |

Baer, copyright 1895) Just down the street a block or two lives Murphy's daughter Nell Her hair is fair, her eyes are blue, indeed she's quite a belle She smiles on me when e'er we meet , she has my heart and hand complete And when work is done I start and run, my Nell to meet Chorus Dennie Murphy's daughter Nell waits for me after tea She knows well, she dare not tell that she's engaged to me But one of these days, when I get a raise, the boy that she loves so well Will marry Denny Murphy's daughter Nell The old man says his daughter Nell can never marry me Says she must wed a howling swell, that's rich and up in "G" But on his Nell I've got first call, she says its me or none at all And last night she said we will be wed some time this fall
Found the above in the Harding Collection of American Sheet Music, of which the Irish Traditional Music Archive has a copy. There's probably a copy of the sheet itself on line somewhere - Levy collection? Regards |
