Nellie Sits A Waitin'
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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
Nellie sits a waitin'...
