Nellie Sits A Waitin' Lyrics - Eddy Arnold

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'... 

No one will tell Nellie who's sittin' all alone 

All abided that's coming back but Johnny can't come home
