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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Waiting on June [00:00:35]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Waiting on June[00:02:04]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Waiting on June[00:02:57]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Waiting on June[00:04:14]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Waiting on June[00:05:27]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Waiting on June[00:06:15]

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

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

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