I went down to the river to watch the fish swim by
|
But I got to the river so lonesome I wanted to die ... Oh Lord!
|
And then I jumped in the river, but the river was dry.
|
|
He's long gone, and now I'm lonesome blue.
|
|
I had me a man who couldn't be true.
|
He made me for my money and she made me blue.
|
A woman needs a man that he can lean on,
|
But my leanin' post is done left and gone.
|
|
He's long gone, and now I'm lonesome blue.
|
|
I'm gonna find me a river, one that's cold as ice.
|
And when I find me that river, Lord I'm gonna pay the price, Oh Lord!
|
I'm goin' down in it three times, but Lord I'm only comin up twice.
|
|
He's long gone, and now I'm lonesome blue.
|
|
He told me on Sunday he was checkin' me out;
|
Long about Monday he was nowhere about.
|
And here it is Tuesday, ain't had no news.
|
I got them gone but not forgotten blues.
|
He's long gone, and now I'm lonesome blue.
