In the sky, the bright starts glittered
On the bank the pale moon shone
And 'twas from Aunt Dinah's quilting party
I was seeing Nellie home
I was seeing Nellie home
I was seeing Nellie home
And 'twas from Aunt Dinah's quilting party
I was seeing Nellie home
On my arm a soft hand rested
Rested light as ocean foam
And 'twas from Aunt Dinah's quilting party
I was seeing Nellie home
* Refrain
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
* Refrain
On my life new hopes were dawning
And those hope have lived and grown
And 'twas from Aunt Dinah's quilting party
I was seeing Nellie home
* Refrain
