Текст песни Waiting On June

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!
