David Massengill - The Girl from Nebraska lyrics



The girl from Nebraska
The girl that my father married
From the first time he saw her
So pretty it made him weak kneed
At the GI Canteen
They danced to a tune by Fats Waller
They Danced once, they danced twice
They danced till he spent his last dollar

He was stationed in Lincoln
A part of the Army Air Corps
He joined like his friends did
They all did their part for the war
When peace came
They parted
Though she thought he would ask her to marry
She stayed in Nebraska
He went home to east Tennessee

So she wrote him a letter
Tossing it off casually
How she's coming to Roanoke
On a school trip and by the way John James asked her to marry
She hadn't said yes
She hadn't said know
Last chance if he had something to say
And she sent a train schedule
Underlining the time and the day

The girl from Nebraska
Looked out the window of the train
As it entered the station
She saw him there calling her name
And he held in his one hand
A bouquet of beautiful flowers
And he held in his other hand
As she ran to greet him
A diamond ring
