I went Ddown to the river to Dwatch the fish swim Dby; D G G D[stop] D But I got to the river so lonesome I wanted to die..., Oh Lord! And then I Ajumped in the river, but the Adoggone river was Ddry. D
She's Dlong Ggone, and Dnow I'm Alonesome Dblue. D
I Dhad me a woman who Dcouldn't be true. She Dmade me for my money and she Dmade me blue. A Gman needs a woman that Ghe can lean on, D A* D D But my leanin' post is done left and gone.
She's Dlong Ggone, and Dnow I'm Alonesome Dblue. D
INSTRUMENTAL: D G D A D D 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. She's long gone, and now I'm lonesome blue. She told me on Sunday she was checkin' me out; Long about Monday she was nowhere about. And here it is Tuesday, ain't had no news. I got them gone but not forgotten blues. She's long gone, and now I'm lonesome blue.
