Nettie Type O Negative

[Chorus: Peter Steele]
Nettie, no need to cry
Let me wipe those tear drops from your eyes
Nettie, no need to cry
Let me wipe those tear drops from your eyes

[Verse 1: Peter Steele]
In the dark bathed in Cathode ray blue
Miss Red Hook of 1922
Weeping silently for the pain of others
Every night a tearful rosary
A victim of the curse of empathy
Her reward for compassion is to suffer

[Chorus: Peter Steele]
Nettie, no need to cry
Let me wipe those tear drops from your eyes

[Verse 2: Peter Steele]
My shortcomings I know caused her grief
Still she loves me; this I can't believe!
Responding not with anger but a prayer
Heaven's just Southwest of Cobble Hill
True, I am the son of an angel
Maternally, not one woman compares
