Hey Nelly, Nelly, look to the what I see

He's ridin' into town on a sway-back mule

He's got a tall black hat and he looks like a fool
Dm Em F G
He sure is talkin' like he's been to school
Am Em D Am D Am
And it's Eighteen Fifty-Three

Hey Nelly, Nelly, listen what he's sayin'

To walk around the same as you and me

Hey Nelly, Nelly, hear the band a-playing

Hey Nelly, Nelly, hand me down my gun
D Am D Am
For the men are cheerin' and the boys are too

They're all puttin' on their coats of blue
Dm Em F G
I can't sit around here and talk to you
Am Em D Am D Am
And it's Eighteen Sixty-One

Hey Nelly, Nelly, come to the window
F G A
Hey Nelly, Nelly, I've come home alive
D Am D Am
My coat of blue is stained with red

And the man in the tall black hat is dead
Dm Em F G
But we sure will remember all the things he said
Am Em D Am D Am
In Eighteen Sixty-Five

Hey Nelly, Nelly, look at what I see

I see white folks and coloured walkin' side by side
D Am D Am
They're walking in a column that's a century wide
Dm Em F G
It was a long and a hard and a bloody ride
Am Em D Am D A
In Nineteen Sixty-Three
