Lyrics Nellie Takes Her Bow - Electric Light Orchestra
Who
thanked
the
Lord
for
the
clothes
That
she
wore
and
mended
Nellie
with
the
big
old
fashioned
eyes
Who
won
the
heart
of
a
crowd
tore
apart,
took
a
bow
Nellie
there's
a
different
world
backstage
I
see
the
flood
lights
burning
I
hear
the
band
play
on
Now
Nellie
takes
her
bow
She
said
she
really
could
not
stay,
Nellie
She
had
a
brand
new
play
to
play
And
so
she
paints
her
face
and
smiles
And
she'll
be
someone
else
in
a
while
I
see
the
flood
lights
burning
I
hear
the
band
play
on
Now
Nellie
takes
her
bow
Just
a
lonely
girl
Who
could
not
face
a
broken
world
And
so
she
acts
out
all
her
dreams
And
wishes
that's
how
it
had
been
But
when
the
audience
is
near
It
seems
as
though
she
doesn't
even
care
Nellie
just
sent
me
a
line
To
tell
me
she
was
doing
fine
She
got
the
lead
on
Broadway
And
really
digging
her
today
So
she
turns
the
final
page
Living
someone's
life
upon
the
stage
I
see
the
flood
lights
burning
I
hear
the
band
play
on
Now
Nellie
takes
her
bow
