Lyrics Just Waitin' (Acetate Version 19) - 2019 - Remaster - Hank Williams

Here is a thing that I put together here, it is old though
It's on record by one of my closest relatives
Luther Drifty, Luther ol' Luther
Make it do it for you, ain't it just the way Luther done it own record?
Just Waitin', wonder what his waitin' for, let's go

The old maid's waitin' for leap year to come
The crooner's just waitin' to sing
The old cow's standin' by the Bull Durham sign
Waitin' for the grass to turn green

The barfly's waitin' for an easy mark
An' the hitch-hiker's waitin' for a ride
The life termer's waitin' for a prison break
An' the beachcomber's waitin' for the tide

Farmer's daughter's waitin' for the salesman
To take her into town
The city slicker's waitin' for the country boy
To lay all his money down

You know everything comes to a standstill
Nothin' seems to make a turn
Worm must be waitin' for the early bird
I guess the early bird's waitin' for the worm

Nobody wants to do nothin'
Just waitin' to get a finger in the pie
Waitin' for a call from a big quiz show
Or awaitin' and hopin' for some rich uncle to die

Katy, she's waitin' at the garden gate
The moonshiner's waitin' at the still
The gambler's still waitin' for his ace in the hole
An' I guess Jack's still waitin' for Jill

Everybody's waitin' for somethin'
Ain't nothin' seems to turn outright
'Cause the night shift's waitin' for mornin'
And the burglar's just waitin' for night

The congregation's waitin' for the preacher
The preacher just waitin' for the groom
The groom's just waitin' for the June bride
And I guess the June bride's waitin' for June

Now the Sunflower's waitin' for the sunshine
The Violet's just waitin' for dew
The bees, they're waitin' for honey
And, honey, I'ma waitin' for you

That's a mess of waitin', ain't it?
Wonder where ol' Luke is these days
I don't know, ol' Luke's done pretty good, he
Been a year over a little hand for a while, what?
Jerry says he's comin' in town tonight
Yeah, he'll be here 'fore you know it
