Betty came by on her way
said she had a word to say
â¨about things today
â¨and fallen leaves
said she hadnât heard the news
â¨hadnât had the time to choose
â¨a way to lose
â¨but she believes
Iâm going to see the river man
Iâm â¨gonna tell him all I canâ¨
about the planâ¨
for lilac time
if he tells me all he knows
â¨about the way his river flows
â¨and all night shows
â¨in summertime
betty said she prayed today
â¨for the sky to blow away
â¨or maybe stay
â¨she wasnât sure
for when she thought of summer rainâ¨
calling for her mind againâ¨
she lost the painâ¨
and stayed for more
Iâm going to see the river man
Iâm â¨gonna tell him all I canâ¨
â¨about the banâ¨
on feeling free
if he tells me all he knows
â¨about the way his river flows
â¨i donât supposeâ¨
itâs meant for me
oh, how they come and go
