I went down to the river to watch the fish swim by; |
| [00:23.50] |
But I got to the river so lonesome I wanted to die..., Oh Lord! |
| [00:31.57] |
And then I jumped in the river, |
| [00:33.85] |
but the doggone river was dry. |
| [00:39.20] |
She's long gone, and now I'm lonesome blue. |
| [00:51.29] |
I had me a woman who couldn't be true. |
| [00:55.08] |
She made me for my money and she made me blue. |
| [00:58.99] |
A man needs a woman that he can lean on, |
| [01:02.68] |
But my leanin' post is done left and gone. |
| [01:09.47] |
She's long gone, and now I'm lonesome blue. |
| [01:28.93] |
I'm gonna find me a river, one that's cold as ice. |
| [01:36.61] |
And when I find me that river, Lord I'm gonna pay the price, Oh Lord! |
| [01:44.51] |
I'm goin' down in it three times, |
| [01:46.72] |
but Lord I'm only comin up twice. |
| [01:52.37] |
She's long gone, and now I'm lonesome blue. |
| [02:04.53] |
She told me on Sunday she was checkin' me out; |
| [02:08.48] |
Long about Monday she was nowhere about. |
| [02:12.50] |
And here it is Tuesday, ain't had no news. |
| [02:16.36] |
I got them gone but not forgotten blues. |
| [02:22.98] |
She's long gone, and now I'm lonesome blue. |
