Bet-ty came on by her way Said she had a word to say
Said she hadn't heard the news Hadn't had the time to choose
Gonna see the riverman Gonna tell him all I can
If he tells me all he knows 'Bout the way his river flows
Betty said she prayed today For the sky to blow away
For when she thought of summer rain Calling for her mind again
Gonna see the riverman Gonna tell him all I can
If he tells me all he knows 'Bout the way his river flows

'bout things today and fallen leaves
A way to lose what she believes
About the plan for lilac time
And all night shows in summertime
Or maybe stay, she wasn't sure
She lost the pain, and stayed for more
About the ban on feeling free
I don't suppose it's meant for me
