In a Hamlet well known in a good English shire,
There stands an old fashion'd inn.
Whose weatherbeaten sign there invites you to dine,
And tells of good cheer within...
And many a guest is sooth'd with its rest
Afar from the city's din,
But the maid who waits your call
Is the sweetest charm of all
At the sign of "The Bluebell Inn'

Chorus
No lady of the land ...was ever half so grand
Or even could compare with Nellie Glynn;
With eyes of hazel brown....
She will chase away your frown.
At the sign of "The Bluebell Inn"

Verse 2

'Tis the way of a man a fair maid to admire,
And this we hold as no sin.
For maidens are but flow'rs of life's sunny hours.
Tho' many must toil and spin.
Then fill up your glass and let the toast pass,
And drink to sweet Nellie Glynn.
To the parson and the squire,
to the hamlet and the shire
And the fame of "The Bluebell Inn"

Chorus
