Eddy Arnold - Nellie Sits a Waitin' lyrics

(Jan Crutchfield - Gerald Nelson) 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...
