Hey Nelly Nelly (Live) - Judy Collins[00:00:00]

Written by：Shel Silverstein/Jim Friedman[00:00:01]

Hey Nelly Nelly come to the window[00:00:10]

Hey Nelly Nelly look at what I see[00:00:14]

He's riding into town on a sway back mule[00:00:18]

Got a tall black hat and he looks like a fool[00:00:22]

He sure is talking like he's been to school[00:00:26]

And it's 1851[00:00:33]

Hey Nelly Nelly listen what he's saying[00:00:43]

Hey Nelly Nelly he says it's getting late[00:00:47]

And he says them black folks should all be free[00:00:51]

To walk around the same as you and me[00:00:56]

And he's talking about a thing he calls democracy[00:00:59]

And it's 1858[00:01:06]

Hey Nelly Nelly hear the band a playing[00:01:16]

Hey Nelly Nelly hand me down my gun[00:01:21]

Cause the men are cheering and the boys are too[00:01:25]

They're all putting on their coats of blue[00:01:29]

I can't sit around here and talk to you[00:01:33]

Cause it's 1861[00:01:40]

Hey Nelly Nelly[00:01:50]

Come to the window[00:01:52]

Hey Nelly Nelly I've come home alive[00:01:54]

My coat of blue is stained with red[00:01:58]

And the man in the tall black hat is dead[00:02:02]

But we sure will remember all the things he said[00:02:07]

In 1865[00:02:14]

Hey Nelly Nelly come to the window[00:02:24]

Hey Nelly Nelly look at what I see[00:02:28]

I see white folks and colored walking side by side[00:02:33]

They're walking in a column that's a century wide[00:02:37]

It's still a long and a hard and a bloody ride[00:02:43]

In 1964[00:02:50]
