lyrics

Hoe the row, hoe the row down Rosie
Hoe the row, make the garden grow
Hoe the row, hoe the row down Rosie
Lay little Nellie in her grave down low

The first time that I saw her there
Carry little Nellie to the boneyard, ho!
Knife in her hand and her feet were bare
Lay little Nellie in her grave down low

Hoe the row, hoe the row down Rosie
Hoe the row, make the garden grow
Hoe the row, hoe the row down Rosie
Lay little Nellie in her grave down low

Then I saw her by the sea
Carry little Nellie to the boneyard, ho!
A silver banjo on her knee
Lay little Nellie in her grave down low

Hoe the row, hoe the row down Rosie
Hoe the row, make the garden grow
Hoe the row, hoe the row down Rosie
Lay little Nellie in her grave down low

Her gown was of the finest silk
Carry little Nellie to the boneyard, ho!
Her skin as white as kitten's milk
Lay little Nellie in her grave down low

Hoe the row, hoe the row down Rosie
Hoe the row, make the garden grow
Hoe the row, hoe the row down Rosie
Lay little Nellie in her grave down low

When I was young and in my prime
Carry little Nellie to the boneyard, ho!
I spun my Nellie a golden twine
Lay little Nellie in her grave down low

Hoe the row, hoe the row down Rosie
Hoe the row, make the garden grow
Hoe the row, hoe the row down Rosie
Lay little Nellie in her grave down low

We have a lot of songs about current themes like whaling and trouserlessness. Anyone refusing to dance at our gigs will be made to walk the plank! ... more
