Eddy Arnold – Nellie Sits A Waitin' lyrics

Nellie sits a waitin',
Waitin' all alone
Waitin' 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 waitin',
Waitin' all alone
Waitin' for her Johnny to come home
Johnny come on home.

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

Nellie sits a waitin',
Waitin' all alone
Waitin' for her Johnny to come home
Johnny come on home...
