'The Little White Cottage, or Gentle Nettie Moore'
Published 1850s
The first 2 lines are ithe same as Dylan's.
O! I miss you Nettie Moore,
And my happiness is o'er,
While a spirit sad around my heart has come;
And the busy days are long,
And the nights are lonely now,
For you've gone from our little cottage home.
It's about a girl who was a slave, and was sold away.
I don't know if it was a song, or if so, what melody was used.
