Nellie Kane Sözleri

As a young man I went riding out on the western plain

In the state of North Dokota I met my Nelie Kane, I met my Nellie Kane

She was living in a lonely cabin with a son by another man

Five years she had waited for him

As long as a woman can, as long as a woman can

CHORUS:

I don't know what changed my mind

'Til then I was the ramblin kind

The kind of love I can't explain

That I have for Nellie Kane

Well she took me on to work that day, to help her till the land

In the afternoon we planted seeds

In the evening we held hands, in the evening we held hands

Her blue eyes told me everything a man could want to know

And it was then I realized that I would never go, I would never go

CHORUS

Now many years have gone by, her son has grown up tall

I became a father to him and she became my all, she became my all

CHORUS
