I went down to the river to watch the fish swim by;
A B7 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.
E A E B7 E
shes long gone, and now Im lonesome blue.
E
I had me a woman who couldnt be true.
She 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.
E A E B7 E
Shes long gone, and now Im lonesome blue.
E
Im gonna find me a river, one thats cold as ice.
A B7 E
And when I find me that river, lord Im gonna pay the price, oh lord!
B7 E
Im goin down in it three times, but lord Im only comin up twice.
E A E B7 E
Shes long gone, and now Im lonesome blue.
E
She told me on sunday she was checkin me out;
Long about monday she was nowhere about.

And here it is tuesday, aint had no news.

I got them gone but not forgotten blues.
E A E B7 E
Shes long gone, and now Im lonesome blue.
