[Intro]
E A E B7 E
[Verse 1]
E
I went down to the river to watch the fish swim by;
A E E
N.C.
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.
[Refrain]
E A E B7 E
She's long gone, and now I'm lonesome blue.
[Bridge 1]
E
I had me a woman who couldn't 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.
[Refrain]
E A E B7 E
She's long gone, and now I'm lonesome blue.
[Interlude]
E A E B7 E
[Verse 2]
E
I'm gonna find me a river, one that's cold as ice.
A E E
N.C.
And when I find me that river, Lord I'm gonna pay the price, oh Lord!
B7 E
I'm goin' down in it three times, but Lord I'm only comin' up twice.
[Refrain]
E A E B7 E
She's long gone, and now I'm lonesome blue.
[Bridge 2]
E
She told me on Sunday she was checkin' me out;
Along about Monday she was nowhere about.
A
And here it is Tuesday, ain't had no news.
E B7 E
I got them gone but not forgotten blues.
[Refrain]
E A E B7 E
She's long gone, and now I'm lonesome blue.
