- Lyrics
Verse:
As a young man I went riding out on the western plain
In the state of North Dakota I met my Nellie Kane, I met my Nellie Kane
She was livin alone in a cabin with a son by another man
For five years she waited for him as long as a woman can, as long as a woman can
Chorus:
I Don't know what changed my mind, until then I was the ramblin kind
The kind of love I can't explain, that I have for Nellie Kane
Verse:
She took me out to work that day and helped me til the land
In the afternoon we planted seed and in the evenin we held hands, In the evenin we held hands
Her blue yes told me everything that you'd want to know
And it was then I realized that I would never go, I would never go
CHORUS:
Verse:
Now many years have gone by and our son has grown up tall
I became her guardian and she became my all, she became my all
CHORUS:
Outro:
That I have for Nellie Kane
