Where, oh where is dear little Nellie?
Where, oh where is dear little Nellie?
Where, oh where is dear little Nellie?
‘Way down yonder in the paw-paw patch.

Come on boys, let’s go find her,
Come on boys, let’s go find her,
Come on boys, let’s go find her,
‘Way down yonder in the paw-paw patch.

Picking up paw-paw, puttin’ ‘em in your pocket,
Picking up paw-paws, puttin’ ‘em in your pocket,
Picking up paw-paws, puttin’ ‘em in your pocket,
‘Way down yonder in the paw-paw patch.
