ORIGINAL LYRICS

Wait ‘til the sun shines, Nellie
When the clouds go drifting by
We will be so happy, Nellie
Don't let me hear you sighing
I can't stand to see you crying

Down Lover's Lane we'll wander
Sweetheart, you and I

If you will wait (Wait at the garden gate)
Till the sun shines, Nellie (Ha now, honey, ha don't be late)
By (In the sweet)
By and by

Oh, say
Things are gonna be okay
In the sweet
A-sweet, a-sweet, goodbye and by

Wait till the sun shines, Nellie
When the clouds go drifting by
We will be so happy, Nellie
Don't let me hear you make a sigh
(Don't let me hear you make a sigh)

Way down in Lover's Lane we'll wander
Sweetheart, you and I

We'll be so happy together
But it all de-a-pends on the weatherman
Nellie
Oh, Nellie (Wowz, Nell)
Don't you sit there and sigh
If you will wait
‘Til the sun shines, Nellie

I-hi-n the sweet
I-hi-n the sweet
I-hi-n the sweet

Just be discreet
And wait ‘til the sweet by and by
