I went Cdown to the river to Cwatch the fish swim Cby; C F F C[stop] C But I got to the river so lonesome I wanted to die..., Oh Lord! And then I Gjumped in the river, but the Gdoggone river was Cdry. C
She's Clong Fgone, and Cnow I'm Glonesome Cblue. C
I Chad me a woman who Ccouldn't be true. She Cmade me for my money and she Cmade me blue. A Fman needs a woman that Fhe can lean on, C G* C C But my leanin' post is done left and gone.
She's Clong Fgone, and Cnow I'm Glonesome Cblue. C
INSTRUMENTAL: C F C G C C 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.
