Verse 1
(D major) (A major) (D major) There is moonshine
on the mountain
and the seals (G major) are run (D major) ning too
They have nothing
on your darling Nellie Gray
(A major) She (D major) has made a little liquor
but to dodge revenue
She thought she had better go away
Oh, your (G major) darling Nellie Gray,
she (D major) left the other day
And she didn't answer
when they (A major) called her case
So (D major) I guess they'll take an all -cross
or they'll call it up in May
But they'll never find a witness
in (A major) this place (D major) (G major) (A major)
(D major) She's not sitting by the river,
for she's mostly on the go.
So take up your banjo now and (A major) play.
She nev (D major) er went to Georgia,
but you'll (G major) find out (D major) at the show.
She is coming, coming, coming (A major) every (D major) day.
Oh, your darling (G major) Nellie Gray,
she (D major) left the other day
And she didn't answer
when they called (A major) her case
So I guess (D major) they'll take on all fraud,
or they'll call it up in May
But they'll never find a witness
(A major) in this (D major) place (A major) (D major)
That night they went together,
she was gone the neighbors claimed
but you can't believe
the neighbors anymore. (A major)
She (D major) has raised a little cotton
and she's raised a little cane.
I guess you've heard them
say so before.
Oh your darling (G major) Nettie Gray,
(D major) she left the other day
and she didn't answer
when they call her (A major) Kate.
So I (D major) guess they'll take
an all -cross
or they'll call it up in May,
but they'll never find a witness
in this place. (A major) (D major)
There are autos under mortgage
and they say it will be sold.
That doesn't make your darling
Nel (A major) lie's store.
She (D major) has little folds of green bags
stuck beneath her stocking roll,
as she's placed many nifty ones before.
Oh, your darling (G major) Nellie Gray
won't (D major) have the cost to pay.
So far the clerk will let her know
it through the mail, (A major)
that (D major) the sheriff will lose
the papers when
And she comes some other day,
and the judge would never see
her go to jail. (A major) (D major) (A major) (D major)
