The River

You said you'd meet me by the river
Just yesterday I heard you say it
Now I'm sittin' here just waitin'
Leaving a message at the tone

Yes I tried to dial your number
In fact I tried it several times
Then I started wonderin' where you could be
Oh, I bet you're at that party with Luanne

Now I won't ever, trust a blue-eyed man
I won't ever, wait for someone with other plans
I know now, that someday you will pay
You broke a promise
You said you'd meet me by the river

Now I know just where to find you
You'll be so sorry once I do
And poor Luanne will have to see you
Get beat up with a rolling pan

And once I'm through with you
I will go home just satisfied
People will hear me walkin' down the street
Whistlin' a fine tune and stompin' my feet

Now I won't ever, trust a blue-eyed man
I won't ever, wait for someone with other plans
I know now, that someday you will pay
You broke a promise
You said you'd meet me by the river
Now I won't ever, trust a blue-eyed man
I won't ever, wait for someone with other plans
I know now that, someday you will pay
You broke a promise
Oh you said you'd meet me by
The river
Here I am waiting, And you will never come
Cause you broke, broke a promise, yes you did
Ohhh, right here by the river
I didn't see you no-oo-noohh
By the River
