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 She's Long Gone and now I'm Lonesome Blues. I had me a woman she couldn't be true Made me for my money and she made me blue A man needs a woman that he can lean on But my leanin' post is done left and gone She's Long Gone and now I'm Lonesome Blues. 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 Well she's Long Gone and now I'm Lonesome Blues. ?'s [email protected]
