A small flirtation

*It was just a small flirtation
Just passind her time away
After all a pretty girl
Must while away her day.

She was promised to another
he was so handsome and so dear
But why should she be alone
when so many men so near

He chatted on the telephone
Talked of movies that they saw
She wanted him for his company
He wanted her for something more

They walked out under moonlight
She laughed without a care
He told her she was lovely
And how he loved her hair

It was just a small flirtation
But she heard that he was dead
Drowned down in the river
The day that she was wed.

She had flirted with the boy
Somehow his heart got broke.
She was the one who broke it
But of that she never spoke.
