Вступление
[Verse 1]
Nellie sits a-waitin',
Waitin' all a-lone
Waitin' for her Johnny to come home
Johnny come on home.
[Verse 2]
Johnny courted Nellie,
She would be his wife
Johnny went to battle,
Lost his life.
[Verse 3]
Nellie promised Johnny
Her love for him she'd save
For Johnny's in Sa-vannah
An oak tree marks his grave.
[Verse 4]
Nellie sits a-waitin',
Waitin' all a-lone
Waitin' for her Johnny to come home
Johnny come on home.
[Verse 5]
No one will tell Nellie
Who's sittin' all a-lone
All abided that's coming back
But Johnny can't come home.
[Verse 6]
Nellie sits a-waitin',
Waitin' all a-lone
Waitin' for her Johnny to come home
Johnny come on home...
