Описание: "Darling Nelly Gray" is a 19th-century popular song that was written and composed by Benjamin Hanby. It is written as from the point of view of an African-American male slave in Kentucky whose sweetheart has been taken away by slave-owners. The man mourns his beloved, who has been sold South to Georgia (where the slave’s life was conventionally regarded as harsher). He eventually dies and joins her in heaven. Hanby also wrote the still popular Christmas songs 'Up On A Housetop' and 'Jolly Old Saint Nicholas.' Hanby, an abolitionist, was involved in the Underground Railroad with his father, Bishop William Hanby. “Darling Nelly Gray” is included on my CD “Somewhere Between The Blue and the Grey” which is available on iTunes or at tomroush.us.
