2.Open the window, love, O do,And listen to the music I'm playing for you,The whisp'rings of love, so soft and so low,Harmonise my voice with the old banjo.
(CHORUS)
3.Softly the casement begins for to rise--The stars are a shining above the skies;The moon is declining behind yonder hillReflecting uts rays on you, my Nancy Till.
