Down on de Mississippi floating, Long time I trabble on de way, All night de cottonwood a toting, Sing for my true-lub all de day. CHORUS Nelly was a lady, Last night she died, Toll de bell for lubly Nell, My dark Viginny bride. 2. Now I'm unhappy and I'm weeping, Can't tote de cotton-wood no more; Last night, while Nelly was a sleeping, Death came a knockin' at de door. (CHORUS) 3. When I say Nelly in de morning, Smile till she open'd up her eyes, Seem'd like de light ob day a dawning, Jist 'fore de sun begin to rise. (CHORUS) 4. Close by de margin ob de water, Whar de lone weeping willow grows, Dar lib'd Virginny's lubly daughter; Dar she in death may find repose. (CHORUS) 5. Down in de meadow 'mong de clober, Walk wid my Nelly by my side; Now all dem happy days am ober, Farewell, my dark Virginny bride.

Shipping Procedures I pride myself on quick shipping. I ship next business day after payment is received. Please note Buyers from outside of the United States are responsible for any and all duties, tariffs or other fees that YOUR country may impose. Once a package is in the Postal Service hands, I lose control over it. Generally, for US shipments you can expect delivery within 3 or 4 business days (or 3-9 for media rate). For non-US shipments, once the package leaves the US, even the USPS loses control over it. I cannot predict transit times for these packages. They quite often are held up in customs in the receiving country. Please be patient.
