Verse:

In the sky the bright stars glittered, On the bank the pale moon shone;
And ’twas from Aunt Dinah’s quilting party, I was seeing Nellie home.

 

On my life new hopes were dawning, And those hopes have lived and grown.

And ’twas from Aunt Dinah’s quilting party, I was seeing Nellie home.

 

Chorus:

I was seeing Nellie home, I was seeing Nellie home;
And ’twas from Aunt Dinah’s quilting party, I was seeing Nellie home.
