Promised To John

Hank Snow Featuring Anita Carter

(I'm promised to John

Promised to John

Can't you see that I'm promised to John)



I saw her on the square

And I fell in love right there

Though I was told she was promised to John

I followed her in a store

And I loved her even more

Though I knew she was promised to John



(I'm promised to John

Promised to John

Don't you know I'm promised to John

And his heart would surely break

If I made this mistake

Can't you see that I'm promised to John)



I said let's take a walk

Someplace where we can talk

Yes I know that you're promised to John

It won't hurt anyone

We'll just have a little fun

Cause I know that you're promised to John

We walked behind a tree

And she gave her lips to me

Even though she was promised to John

And I guess she's with him now

She should be anyhow

Cause she said she was promised to John



(I'm promised to John...

Can't you see I'm promised to John don't you know I'm just promised to John)
