B. Cain

1. 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

Chorus I was seeing Nellie home
        I was seeing Nellie home
        And 'twas from aunt Dinah's quilting party
        I was seeing Nellie home

2. On my arm a soft hand rested
Rested like as ocean foam
And 'twas from aunt Dinah's quilting party
I was seeing Nellie home

Chorus

3. On my lips a whisper trembled
Trembled till it dared to come
And 'twas from aunt Dinah's quilting party
I was seeing Nellie home

Chorus

4. 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
