Betty's shining shoes out on the porch again Doing mama's chores they seem they'll never end I been daydreaming bout a better way 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 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 allright Some day soon you're gonna find a way Could be tomorrow it could be today Don't cry Betty c'mon 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
