letra de nellie cole - lorne greene

[intro]
the sweetest tale of love i know
took place in good ‘ol el paso
makes romeo and juliet
seem cold as winter snow

[verse 1]
a bashful cow-poke bill moran loved big fat nellie cole
miss nellie owned a third of texas, and half of mexico
“you’d best stay clean away from nell!” was all i heard bill say
as cactus pete rode down the street in el paso that day
“you’d best stay clean away from nell!” said great big bill moran
scared every cow-poke in the west, along the rio grande

[chorus]
(nellie, nelliе, nellie, nelliе, nellie, nellie, nellie)
(we talk about nellie cole)

[verse 2]
nellie, she was ugly as sin
stood barren and six foot tall
and nell owned more than a third of texas and half of arkansas
her spread was more than all the rest along the rio grande
nellie swore she never met this cowhand bill moran
“ten years since i drilled the first guy that wooed my nellie cole, since then it’s been one a year, guess nellie’s getting old.”
“all you guys stay away from nell! one day i’ll be her man, and if i can’t have her, no-one can, along the rio grande!”
[chorus]
(nellie, nellie, nellie, nellie, nellie, nellie, nellie)
(we all love nellie cole!)

[verse 3]
“i’ve come to town to nail your height!”, said nellie, to big bill
“you’ll make me out an old maid, you ornery stubborn heath!”
“leave el paso ‘fore sunset, dang you bill moran!”
“i’m coming for you, guns’a blazing! i just dealt the hand!”
“i love you nellie.”, said big bill, a tear was in his eye
“you never told me!”, nellie cried, “cowpoke you gotta die!”
“you drilled each love i ever knew, along the rio grande!”
“how come you didn’t speak up bill, i need myself a man!”
“scared to death of women nellie, swear i am!”, said bill
“look at me, i’m ugly as mud, this face can’t be for real”
“heck, that don’t matter!”, nellie sighed
“dog-gone bill, you’re a man! hold up that six-gun lover boy, and take this gal by the hand!”

[chorus]
(nellie, nellie, nellie, nellie, nellie, nellie, nellie)
(talk about nellie cole)

[verse 4]
it was the g-yest, darnest wedding el paso’s ever seen
all our worries crossed the bridge
they dressed nell like a queen
nellie sprung with thirteen dozen bottles of juárez booze
that nell held tight to bill alright, she never let him loose
[verse 5]
now you take shakespeare’s romeo
did he drill ten men, before he even kissed his lover?
not like bill moran
sure, bill was bashful, but he got it
got his nellie cole
them lovers had no imagination
long, long time ago

[chorus]
(nellie, nellie, nellie, nellie, nellie, nellie, nellie)
(that’s a story about nellie cole!)
