Nelly - The Deslondes

Oh Nelly

The Nelly I know

Is worth every mountain

Or valley below

You were my best friend

I nearly lost control

When you took to walkin'

And I watched you go

You found you a dead end man

Who don’t know your worth

He’s standing there holdin' your hand

He don’t say a word

I might sound crazy

Tellin' you my mind

He’s running through you like cancer

You ain’t got much time

Oh Nelly

Nelly I know

He’s robbin' your eyes of

Their silver and gold

It killed me to hear you say

That you need him to live

It’s bound to be you or him someday

Destined to give

I still think about you

I have all along

I’ll pray who you’re seein'

Has packed up and gone

Oh Nelly

Nelly I know

You’re worth every mountain

Or valley below

Oh Nelly

Nelly I know

He’s robbin' your eyes of

Their silver and gold
