B. Cain:
AUNT DINAH'S QUILTING PARTY (SEEING NELLIE HOME)

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

Rf. 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

Rf.

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

Rf.

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

Rf.
