O Nelly Gray! O Nelly Gray! Is this your love so warm? The love that loves a scarlet coat, Should be more uniform!

I loved a soldier once, For he was blithe and brave; But I will never have a man With both legs in the grave!

Before you had those timber toes, Your love I did allow, But then you know, you stand upon Another footing now!

O Nelly Gray! O Nelly Gray! For all your jeering speeches, At duty's call I left my legs In Badajos's breaches!

I wish I ne'er had seen your face; But now a long farewell! For you will be my death--alas! You will not be my Nell!
