1. The moon in its beauty was beaming,
The stars from the bright sky were shining,
And the birds in their nesthomes wre dreaming,
The streamlet its music was chiming;
I met Nellie walking alone in the lane,
The nightingale chorus did greet us,
When she gave me a rose with a kiss as she said
The old fashioned roses are sweetest.
CHORUS
Nellie, my darling, my only true love,
Your form is the fairest and neatest;
And Ill always remember,
when form is the fairest and neatest;
And Ill always remember,
when walking thro life,
That the old fashioned roses are sweetest.
2. I told her goodbye, I must leave her,
She said she would love me the better,
That the parting alone would not grieve her,
If Id send her my love in a letter,
When we parted that night she said she would write,
That our loves and our lives woud be fleetest,
Till we meet soon again, and wed walk down the land
Where the old fashioned roses are sweetest.
CHORUS
Nellie, my darling, my only true love,
Your form is the fairest and neatest;
And Ill always remember,
when form is the fairest and neatest;
And Ill always remember,
when walking thro life,
That the old fashioned roses are sweetest.
