A small Assignation

It was just a small flirtation
Just passing the time away
After all a pretty girl
Must while away her day

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

They 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
She heard that he was dead
Drowned up in the river
The day that she was wed

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