The Old-Fashioned Cottage

歌詞

There's an old fashioned cottage, half ______ by the trees Where the roses in summer ____ in breeze Where the nightingales go there And the dew drops echo the close of the day Alone by a window a pale face is seen It's my old little Nelly to my heart she's queen No matter what sorrow our troubles troubles make up I will always love Nelly the pride of my home Her eyes are like diamonds, her cheeks are so fair Red roses they deck up her _____ brown hair Her sweet ____ lips are most grand to be hold And the rings on her fingers are made of pure gold I always will love her 'till me she's the same She's my own little no one else cannot claim I always will love her though far she may roll I will always love Nelly the pride of my home There's a babe on the carpet that's just turning three Stretches out it's little arms and says father take me It's arms around my neck are so closely entwined And the sweet ministerial Nelly so good and so kind I care not for riches for she's by my side And I always miss the day that I made her my bride No matter what sorrow our troubles make up I will always love Nelly the pride of my home
