Text

In the sky the bright stars glittered

D A

On the bank the pale moon shone

It was from Aunt Dinah's quilting party

E A

I was seeing Nellie home

Chorus:

A D A

I was seeing Nellie home I was seeing Nellie home

D E A

And from Aunt Dinah's quilting party I was seeing Nellie home

Our lips were warm and tender

D A

Now I’ll never be alone

It was from Aunt Dinah's quilting party

E A

I was seeing Nellie home. (Chorus)
