Sittin' Here (Peter's Tune) Lyrics

Sittin' here waiting for my baby to come
but my baby done missed the train
people keep saying that my baby ain't coming
but I know she's coming just the same
people see me lying in the grass and think it's funny
how a long time man will sit and wait for his honey
Sittin' here waiting for my baby to come
but my baby done missed the train
Sittin' here waiting for my baby to come
but my baby done missed the train
people keep saying that my baby ain't coming
but I know she's coming just the same
well I was lying under a tree
along came this fellow and said to me
well you're just sittin' here waitin' for your baby to come
but your baby done missed the train
that' right I'm sittin' here waiting for my baby to come
but my baby done missed the train
Sittin' here waiting for my baby to come
but my baby done missed the train
people keep saying that my baby ain't coming
but I know she's coming just the same
well I worked all my life
yes I tried so hard
to stay with the women in my own backyard
Sittin' here waiting for my baby to come
but my baby done missed the train
but my baby done missed the train
but my baby done missed the train
sing it again
my baby done missed the train

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
