(intro)  C5 C5

  Betty came by on her way
                           Ab5
  Said she had a word to say
                     C5
  About things today
  And fallen leaves.

C5                             Bb5
  Said she hadn't heard the news
                              Ab5
  Hadn't had the time to choose
               C5
  A way to lose
  But she believes.

C5                         Bb5
  Going to see the river man
                            Ab5
  Going to tell him all I can
                C5
  About the plan
  For lilac time.

C5                          Bb5
  If he tells me all he knows
                              Ab5
  About the way his river flows
                     C5
  And all night shows
  In summertime.

  Betty said she prayed today
                         Ab5
  For the sky to blow away
               C5
  Or maybe stay
  She wasn't sure.

C5                                  Bb5
  For when she thought of summer rain
                           Ab5
  Calling for her mind again
                   C5
  She lost the pain
  And stayed for more.

C5                         Bb5
  Going to see the river man
                            Ab5
  Going to tell him all I can
               C5
  About the ban
  On feeling free.

C5                          Bb5
  If he tells me all he knows
                              Ab5
  About the way his river flows
                 C5
  I don't suppose
  It's meant for me.
