Greenpoint Nell - song lyrics 
American Old-time song lyrics from www.traditionalmusic.co.uk 
GREENPOINT NELL. Sung by Joe J. Sullivan. 
While coming from the ferry I met a little girl, She's sweeter than a daisy, They call her Greenpoint Nell. A dozen more were with her, I know them very well, And as I passed the darling by, They said, oh, what a swell! 
Chorus. Oh, my. ain't she sweet, With blue eyes and blonde curly hair, You bet she's a daisy, she has me near crazy. With her sure there's none can compare; Oh, my, ain't she a dear, I've mashed her, I know very well; She's a silk factory lady, and married I may be To my little Greenpoint Nell. 
The Thirty Fourth Street ferry She crosses every forenoon, She works in the silk factory, But she'll leave it very soon; I'm going to move to Greenpoint, Alongside of this belle, Her name is Johanna Shaugnessv, But they call her Greenpoint Nell.-Chorus.
