Come down to the river now
Come down where it's cool
Come down to the river now
Just for a day be a fool
Betty's shining shoes out on the porch again
I been daydreaming about a better way
Take Betty far away
Come down to the river now
Come down where it's cool
Come down to the river now
Just for a day be a fool
Betty wears her boyfriends jeans
Well he don't need 'em
He ran away it's been five years since last she seen him
I got a strange feeling he'll come back some day
To make betty's day
Come down to the river now
Come down where it's cool
Come down to the river now
Just for a day be a fool
Well I hear Betty cry at night
Don't cry girl it's gonna be alright, yeah
Some day soon you're gonna find a way
Could be tomorrow it could be today
Don't cry Betty, don't cry
He's gonna come back
He's gonna steal you away
Oh Betty come on
Betty come down
Betty come down
Betty come down
Come down to the river now
Come down where it's cool
Come down to the river now
Just for a day be a fool
Just have one day for you
