In The Fog

In The Fog

In the fog, in the rain by the riverside
There were pledges made in the dark last night
And they hung in the air like Chinese lights
In the fog, in the rain, by the riverside

Lovebird, lovebird, she sang so soft she couldn’t be heard
Settin’ on the garden swing waiting for the bird to sing
Lovebound, she couldn’t be found
She sat so still, she never made a sound
Settin’ in the by-and-by waiting for the bird to fly away

Postcard, postcard, I found it layin’ in the neighbor’s yard
If she ever hears that card talk, she’s liable to take a walk
Postmarked on the twenty-third
A couple of pictures, two or three words
If she sees those pictures move she’s gonna disapprove of that postcard

In the fog, in the rain, by the riverside
There were pledges made in the dark last night
And they hung in the air like Chinese lights
In the fog, in the rain, by the riverside
In the fog, in the rain, by the riverside
Love forever by the riverside
