[Verse 1]
E
The scene was in the jailhouse,
A Am
and if curfew rang that night
E
Nell's dad in number 13 cell
B7
would go out like a light
E
She knew her dad was innocent,
A Am
so plucky Little Nell
E
She tied her tender torso to the
B7 E
clapper of the bell

[Chorus]
E A
Hang on the bell, Nellie, hang on the bell
E B7
Your poor daddy's locked in a cold prison cell
E
As you swing to the left, Nellie,
A
swing to the right

Remember that curfew bell must never ring tonight

[Verse 2]
E
It all started when sweet Nellie said,
A Am
"No! No!" to Handsome Jack
E
And struggled for her virtue
B7
there down by the railroad track
E
Nell's dad came to her rescue
A Am
as the train roared down the line
