Nellie Sits A Waitin'

Nellie Sits A Waitin'

(album: Thereby Hangs A Tale - 1959)

Nellie sits a waiting
Waiting all alone
Waiting for her Johnny to come home
Johnny come on home

Johnny courted Nellie
She would be his wife
Johnny went to battle
Lost his life

Nellie promised Johnny
Her love for him she'd save
For Johnny's in Savannah
An oak tree marks his grave

Nellie sits a waiting
Waiting all alone
Waiting for her Johnny to come home
Johnny come on home

No one will tell Nellie
Who's sitting all alone
All abided that's coming back
But Johnny can't come home

Nellie sits a waiting
Waiting all alone
Waiting for her Johnny to come home
Johnny come on home...
