It's been a Saturday everyday and a whole month of Sundays And I get sadder every day he's gone Horseshoe Bend old friend that's been so long since we saw him When he laid me down upon your banks and made this girl a woman As the Virgin Mother sang us a song Horseshoe Bend he's just like you old river he'll keep rolling And I'll keep praying someday he'll come home It's been a Saturday everyday... Here comes Frank again old friend and there ain't no sign of him But just because I can't see him don't mean I forgot him And I'll keep praying someday he'll come home It's been a Saturday everyday... [ guitar - steel ] Horseshoe Bend old friend that's been... It's been a Saturday everyday...
