| Lyrics: | 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 doggone 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 he made me blue.
A woman needs a man that she 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.
He's long gone, and now I'm lonesome blue |
