Sitting here with Auntie Nellie, she is so alone
Talking idly, she's in no hurry, I wish I could go
But how could I just say 'goodbye', there's no-one who she knows

No, I can't leave my Auntie Nellie, no
No, I can't leave my Auntie Nellie, no

She's getting old and weary, oh it's such a shame
'Cos she's been good to everyone but now they don't know her name

No, I can't leave my Auntie Nellie, no
No, I can't leave my Auntie Nellie, no

Sitting here with Auntie Nellie, she is so alone
Talking idly, she's in no hurry, I wish I could go
But how could I just say 'goodbye', there's no-one who she knows

No, I can't leave my Auntie Nellie, no
She's so alone, she'd die if I should go
No, I can't leave my Auntie Nellie, no
She's so alone
