River Man |
| Betty came by on her way |
| Said she had a word to say |
| About things today |
| And fallen leaves |
| Said she hadn’t heard the news |
| Hadn’t had the time to choose |
| A way to lose |
| But she believes |
| Going to see the river man |
| Gonna tell him all I can |
| About the plan |
| For lilac time |
| If he tells me all he knows |
| About the way his river flows |
| And all-night shows |
| In summertime |
| Betty said she prayed today |
| For the sky to blow away |
| Or maybe stay |
| She wasn’t sure |
| For when she thought of summer rain |
| Calling for her mind again |
| She lost the pain |
| And stayed for more |
| Going to see the river man |
| Going to tell him all I can |
| About the ban |
| On feeling free |
| If he tells me all he knows |
| About the way his river flows |
| I don’t suppose |
| It’s meant for me |
| Oh, how they come and go |
| Oh, how they come and go |
