What were you doing when I saw you last night
Were you just playing hands or was he holding you tight
Did he kiss your sweet lips look in your eyes of blue
Did he whisper I love you just like I used to do
Did he ask you questions bout yesterday's flame
What was your answer did you mention my name
Did he ask you to promise that you'd always be true
Did he mention a diamond darlin' I wish I knew
[ steel - fiddle ]
What were you doing...
