Now Nelie put on her Sunday dress she
[G]thought that it would look the best
[A]Made out of an old beet sack
[D]old beet rope around the back
Hey [G](barefoot Nellie) ho [A](barefoot Nellie) hey

[D]Hey [G](barefoot Nellie) ho [A](barefoot Nellie) hey
(barefoot Nellie) you're the one for [D]me
Now Nellie's got a pair of shoes and
[G]she can wear 'em if she choose
