Auntie Nellie (2003 Reissue Bonus Track)

(album: Picturesque Matchstickable Messages From The Status Quo - 1968)

Sitting here with Auntie Nellie, she is so alone
Talking idly, she's in no hurry, I wish I could go
But how could I just say, "Goodbye"
There's no one whom she knows

No I can't leave my Auntie Nellie, no
No I can't leave my Auntie Nellie, no

She's getting old and weary, oh it's such a shame
'Cos she's been good to everyone
But now they don't know her name

No I can't leave my Auntie Nellie, no
No I can't leave my Auntie Nellie, no

Sitting here with Auntie Nellie, she is so alone
Talking idly, she's in no hurry, I wish I could go
But how could I just say, "Goodbye"
There's no one whom she knows

No I can't leave my Auntie Nellie, no
She's so alone, she'd die if I should go
No I can't leave my Auntie Nellie, no
She's so alone, she'd die if I should go.
