[00:00.330]She was from North Louisiana in the town of Mer Rouge
[00:04.079]I fell in love in a week or two
[00:07.018]It didn't take long to love a girl like that
[00:12.543]We were barely ten in the cotton fields
[00:15.742]Playing horseshoe with the colored kids
[00:18.807]I tried to kiss her she grabbed a baseball bat
[00:23.935]I was waiting on June I hope she comes to see me
[00:30.441]Waiting on June I can't take this feeling
[00:35.822]Waiting on June
[00:39.572]I pray to God she'll love me one of these days
[00:43.994]I hope I find my way waiting on June
[00:54.430]I went off in '42 to fight those boys and pay my dues
[01:00.129]Her wallet picture kept my spirits high
[01:06.057]Charley boy died in my arms he saw Jesus I saw blood
[01:11.918]It soaked her wallet picture that cold night
[01:17.368]Well I told my best friend Charley
[01:20.042]I would kiss his girl goodbye
[01:23.031]He made me promise I'd go home
[01:26.518]And make miss June my wife
[01:29.700]Shaking like a drunk old fool
[01:32.328]I hopped off of that plane
[01:35.447]And I ran home to ask her in the rain
[01:40.925]Waiting on June I hope that she says yes
[01:46.929]Waiting on June in her faded summer dress
[01:52.979]Waiting on June her daddy shook my hand
[01:59.358]And she lit up the moment I pulled out that silver band
[02:04.789]Waiting on June
[02:10.908]Well we married at the Methodist Church
[02:14.090]Found a big white cow and a piece of dirt
[02:17.041]With pecan trees to build our homestead on
[02:22.884]Jolynn Becky then Donna then Shelby
[02:26.197]Our tiny house was a sanctuary
[02:28.944]Laughter filled those rooms all day long
[02:33.757]And we're waiting on June she's putting on her makeup
[02:39.996]Waiting on June she's trying to get her hair curled

[02:57.692]Waiting on June
[03:03.939]Well time flew by like they said it would
[03:06.939]Yeah the kids grew fast and the farm did good
[03:09.939]Mrs Bertha made our supper everyday
[03:15.813]At noon that silver bell would ring
[03:18.689]We'd all say grace and dig on in
[03:21.750]We always ate together in those days
[03:27.689]One by one those kids went off
[03:30.688]And found a love of their own
[03:33.627]There's nothing like the joy
[03:35.688]I knew when they brought their babies home
[03:39.239]We'd play all day in the cotton fields
[03:42.172]With the dogs I raised up right
[03:45.485]And end in grandma's kitchen every night
[03:50.862]Waiting on June honey don't burn the bacon
[03:56.789]Waiting on June our bellies are a-aching
[04:02.781]Waiting on June she turns that fork so slow
[04:08.923]And we all had to sit there 'til the last bite was no more
[04:14.663]Waiting on June
[04:21.073]We were slower than we used to be
[04:24.579]The nursing home told June and me
[04:27.260]That we'd have separate rooms side by side
[04:36.239]Oh what I'd give for one more night of sleeping with my wife
[04:42.739]Since '45 I've touched her skin in the middle of the night
[04:48.609]So I'm lyin' in this single bed until they cut the lights
[04:54.859]That's when she'll sneak in and I'll be fine
[05:03.591]Waiting on June so we can kiss goodnight
[05:09.790]Waiting on June I'll hold her hand so tight
[05:15.728]Waiting on June I'll love her 'til I die
[05:22.565]It's bittersweet when love grows old
[05:25.194]And you really miss your wife
[05:27.808]Waiting on June
[05:34.074]Well they buried me last Tuesday morning
[05:37.254]The good Lord came He took me home
[05:40.260]I closed my eyes and quickly went away
[05:46.191]But the angels let me see her everyday
[05:51.999]Waiting on June our mansion is so grand
[05:58.125]Waiting on June footprints in the sand
