Lyrics

[00:15.620] I went down to the river to watch the fish swim by;
[00:23.500] But I got to the river so lonesome I wanted to die..., Oh Lord!
[00:31.570] And then I jumped in the river,
[00:33.850] but the doggone river was dry.
[00:39.200] She's long gone, and now I'm lonesome blue.
[00:51.290] I had me a woman who couldn't be true.
[00:55.800] She made me for my money and she made me blue.
[00:58.990] A man needs a woman that he can lean on,
[01:02.680] But my leanin' post is done left and gone.
[01:09.470] She's long gone, and now I'm lonesome blue.
[01:28.930] I'm gonna find me a river, one that's cold as ice.
[01:36.610] And when I find me that river, Lord I'm gonna pay the price, Oh Lord!
[01:44.509] I'm goin' down in it three times,
[01:46.720] but Lord I'm only comin up twice.
[01:52.370] She's long gone, and now I'm lonesome blue.
[02:04.530] She told me on Sunday she was checkin' me out;
[02:08.478] Long about Monday she was nowhere about.
[02:12.500] And here it is Tuesday, ain't had no news.
[02:16.360] I got them gone but not forgotten blues.
[02:22.980] She's long gone, and now I'm lonesome blue.
