Promised to John - Hank Snow, Anita Carter

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)
