Hank Snow - I Love You Nellie Lyrics

Standing in the moonlight by the old garden gate

Nellie, my darlin', I know you will wait

Wait for me, dearest, he said in tears

Then I'll be your sweetheart through all the long years



I love you Nellie, yes I'll be true

All these long years have been just for you

And believe me, Nellie, when I'm far away

I'll not forget you, I'll be with you someday



Early next morning at the break of day

He was to journey so far away

Drawing her nearer, his promised bride

By the pale moonlight these words he replied



I love you Nellie, yes I'll be true

All these long years have been just for you

And believe me, Nellie, when I'm far away

I'll not forget you, I'll be with you someday
