[1][2][3] "Wait 'Till the Sun Shines, Nellie" has been recorded many times and is now considered a pop standard.

In a long-standing tradition, floor traders at the New York Stock Exchange sing this song on the last trading day of every year and on Christmas Eve.
A sample of the song, sung a cappella by Tom Bromley, an elderly First World War veteran, appears on the Roger Waters 1992 album Amused to Death at the end of the track "What God Wants (Part III)".
