River Man

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Betty came by on her way Said she had a word to say 'Bout things today And fallen leaves [Verse 2] Said she hadn't heard the news Hadn't had the time to choose A way to lose But she believes [Chorus] Gonna see the river man Gonna tell him all I can About the plan For lilac time If he tells me all he knows 'Bout the way his river flows And all-night shows In summertime [Verse 3] Betty said she prayed today For the sky to blow away Or maybe stay She wasn't sure [Verse 4] For when she thought of summer rain Calling for her mind again She lost the pain And stayed for more [Chorus] Gonna see the river man Gonna tell him all I can About the ban On feeling free If he tells me all he knows 'Bout the way his river flows I don't suppose It's meant for me [Outro] Oh, how they come and go Oh, how they come and go
