《Waiting on June》歌词

[00:00:00] She was from North Louisiana in the town of Mer Rouge

[00:00:04] I fell in love in a week or two

[00:00:07] It didn't take long to love a girl like that

[00:00:12] We were barely ten in the cotton fields

[00:00:15] Playing horseshoe with the colored kids

[00:00:18] I tried to kiss her she grabbed a baseball bat

[00:00:23] I was waiting on June I hope she comes to see me

[00:00:30] Waiting on June I can't take this feeling

[00:00:35] Waiting on June

[00:00:39] I pray to God she'll love me one of these days

[00:00:43] I hope I find my way waiting on June

[00:00:54] I went off in '42 to fight those boys and pay my dues

[00:01:00] Her wallet picture kept my spirits high

[00:01:06] Charley boy died in my arms he saw Jesus I saw blood

[00:01:11] It soaked her wallet picture that cold night

[00:01:17] Well I told my best friend Charley

[00:01:20] I would kiss his girl goodbye

[00:01:23] He made me promise I'd go home

[00:01:26] And make miss June my wife

[00:01:29] Shaking like a drunk old fool

[00:01:32] I hopped off of that plane

[00:01:35] And I ran home to ask her in the rain

[00:01:40] Waiting on June I hope that she says yes

[00:01:46] Waiting on June in her faded summer dress

[00:01:52] Waiting on June her daddy shook my hand

[00:01:59] And she lit up the moment I pulled out that silver band

[00:02:04] Waiting on June

[00:02:10] Well we married at the Methodist Church

[00:02:14] Found a big white cow and a piece of dirt

[00:02:17] With pecan trees to build our homestead on

[00:02:22] Jolynn Becky then Donna then Shelby

[00:02:26] Our tiny house was a sanctuary

[00:02:28] Laughter filled those rooms all day long

[00:02:33] And we're waiting on June she's putting on her makeup

[00:02:39] Waiting on June she's trying to get her hair curled

[00:02:45] Waiting on June kids listen to me

[00:02:51] You walk on down to Sunday school I'll be there in 15

[00:02:57] Waiting on June

[00:03:03] Well time flew by like they said it would

[00:03:06] Yeah the kids grew fast and the farm did good

[00:03:09] Mrs Bertha made our supper everyday

[00:03:15] At noon that silver bell would ring

[00:03:18] We'd all say grace and dig on in

[00:03:21] We always ate together in those days

[00:03:27] One by one those kids went off

[00:03:30] And found a love of their own

[00:03:33] There's nothing like the joy

[00:03:35] I knew when they brought their babies home

[00:03:39] We'd play all day in the cotton fields

[00:03:42] With the dogs I raised up right

[00:03:45] And end in grandma's kitchen every night

[00:03:50] Waiting on June honey don't burn the bacon

[00:03:56] Waiting on June our bellies are a-aching

[00:04:02] Waiting on June she turns that fork so slow

[00:04:08] And we all had to sit there 'til the last bite was no more

[00:04:14] Waiting on June

[00:04:21] We were slower than we used to be

[00:04:24] The nursing home told June and me

[00:04:27] That we'd have separate rooms side by side

[00:04:36] Oh what I'd give for one more night of sleeping with my wife

[00:04:42] Since '45 I've touched her skin in the middle of the night

[00:04:48] So I'm lyin' in this single bed until they cut the lights

[00:04:54] That's when she'll sneak in and I'll be fine

[00:05:03] Waiting on June so we can kiss goodnight

[00:05:09] Waiting on June I'll hold her hand so tight

[00:05:15] Waiting on June I'll love her 'til I die

[00:05:22] It's bittersweet when love grows old

[00:05:25] And you really miss your wife

[00:05:27] Waiting on June

[00:05:34] Well they buried me last Tuesday morning

[00:05:37] The good Lord came He took me home

[00:05:40] I closed my eyes and quickly went away

[00:05:46] But the angels let me see her everyday

[00:05:51] Waiting on June our mansion is so grand

[00:05:58] Waiting on June footprints in the sand

[00:06:04] Waiting on June that's the story of my life

[00:06:10] Cause me and Jesus are standing here

[00:06:13] 'Til she walks through that light

[00:06:15] Waiting on June

[00:06:20] I'm still waiting on June

[00:06:26] I'm always waiting on June

[00:06:32] No more waiting on June
