I went down to the river, to watch the fish swim by
A E(Stop)E
But I got to the river so lonesome I wanted to die Oh Lord
B7 E
And then I jumped in the river but the doggone river was dry
A E B7 E
She's Long Gone and now I'm Lonesome Blues.
E
I had me a woman she couldn't be true
Made me for my money and she made me blue
A
A man needs a woman that he can lean on
E B7 E
But my leanin' post is done left and gone
A E B7 E
She's Long Gone and now I'm Lonesome Blues.
E A E B7 E
E
I'm gonna find me a river one that's cold as ice
A E(Stop) E
And when I find me that river Lord I'm gonna pay the price Oh Lord
B7 E
I'm goin' down in it three times but Lord I'm only comin' up twice
A E B7 E
Well she's Long Gone and now I'm Lonesome Blues.
