Lyrics
Down by de cane brake,
Close by de mill,
Dere I met a yaller gal,
And her name was Nancy Till;
She know'd dat I loved her,
She know'd it berry long,
I'm going to serenade her,
An' dis shall be de song.

Chorus.

Oh, come love, come, de boat lies low,
She lies high and dry on de Ohio,
Come love, come, won't you go 'long wid me,
I'll take you down to Tennessee.

I come from below,
Will you go, lub, wid me,
I will row de boat,
While de boat rows me;
And I'm waiting for you now,
You will not refuse to go,
And listen to de harmony
Ob de ole banjo.
Oh, come, lub, come, &c.

Open de window, lub,
For your lover so true,
An' listen to de music
He is playing for you;
Like de soft summer notes,
So sweet and so low,
As dey flow from de strings
Ob de ole banjo.
Oh, come, lub, come, &c.

Come, love, come, won't you go along wid me,
