Holly Williams - Waiting On June lyrics

rate me

She was from North Louisiana in the town of Mer Rouge

I felt in love in a week or two

It didn't long to love a girl like that!

We were barely ten in the cotton fields

Playing horse shoe with the colored kids

I tried to kiss her

She grabbed the baseball bat!

Chorus:

I was waiting on June

I hope she comes to see me

Waiting on June

I can't take this feeling of waiting on June

I pray to God she'll love me one of these days

I hope I found my way

Waiting on June!

Well, I went off in 42

to fight those boys and paid my dues

Her wallet pictures kept my spirits high!

Charlie boy died in my arms

He saw Jesus, I saw blood

It soaked her wallet picture that cold night

I told my best friend Charlie I would kiss his girl goodbye

he made me promise I'd go home and make miss June my wife

Shaking like a drunk old fool I hoped off of that plane

And I ran home to ask her in the rain!

Chorus:

Waiting on June

I hope she says yes

Waiting on June

And her faded summer dress

Waiting on June

Her daddy shook my hand

And she lit up the moment

I pulled out that silver band

Waiting on June!

Well, we married at the Methodist church

Found a big white cow and a piece of dirt

With pecan trees.. to build our homestead on

John and Becky, then and Donna and then Shelby

that tiny house was a sanctuary

Laughter filled those rooms all day long!

Chorus:

And we are waiting on June

She's put on her make up

Waiting on June

She's trying to get her hair curl

Waiting on June

Kids, listen to me

You walk on down to sunday school and

I'll be there in 15

Waiting on June!

Well, the time flew by like I said it would

And the kids grew fast and the farm did good

Mrs Bretha made our supper every day.

I knew that silver bell would ring

We'd all say grace and dig all in

We always ate together in those days!

One by one those kids went off

And found a love their own.

There's nothing like the joy I knew

When they brought their babies home

We'd play all day in the cotton fields

With the dogs I raised up right

And end in grandma's kitchen every night

Chorus:

Waiting on June

Honey, don't burn the bacon!

Waiting on June

Our bellies are aching

Waiting on June

She turns that fork so slow

And we all had to sit there

Till the last bite was no more

Waiting on June!

We were slower than we used to be

The nursing home told June and me

That we'd had separate rooms side by side.

Oh, what I'd give for one more night of sleeping with my wife

Since '45 I touched her skin in the middle of the night

So I'm lying in this single bed until they cut the lights

That's when she'll sneak in and I'll be fine!

Waiting on June

So we can kiss goodnight

Waiting on June

I'll hold her hand so tight

Waiting on June

I'll love her till I die

It's bitter sweet when love grows old

And you really miss your wife

Waiting on June!

Will they burried me last Tuesday morning

The good Lord came and he took me home

I close my eyes and quickly went away

The angels let me see her every day!

Waiting on June

Our mansion is so grand

Waiting on June

Footprints in the sand

Waiting on June

That's the story of my life

Cause me and Jesus will stay here

Till she walks through that light!

Waiting on June!

I'm still waiting on June!

I'm always waiting on June!

No more waiting on June!
