NELLIE BROWN. Copyright. 1804. by Chas, R. Williams. Words and Music by Chas. R. Williams. 
I have a sweetheart, the fairest in all the town, I love her dearly, my own sweet Nellie Brown; On Wednesday evening her face I long to see; Then when we meet we're as happy as can be. 
Refrain. Beautiful Nellie Brown, the sweetest girl in town, i am her beau, she calls me "her Joe," my own sweet Nellie Brown. Beautiful Nellie Brown, the sweetest girl in town; I am her beau, she calls me "her Joe," my own sweet Nellie Brown. 
We go out strolling, up and down Broadway, Arms linked together, happy, light and gay; The other evening I asked her mine to he, And she said "Yes "-what happiness there's for me-Refrain. 
Soon we'll be married, oh, how I'll love thee, My little Nellie, my loving wife to be; Then when we're settled, in comfort, bliss and love, We'll ask God's blessing, that comes from for above.-Refrain.
