Long Gone Lonesome Blues Lyrics

I went down to the river to watch the fish swim by

But when I got to the river so lonesome I wanted to die, oh Lord

So that I jumped in the river, but the doggone river was dry

She's long gone, and now I'm lonesome blue

I had me a woman she couldn't be true

She 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 blue

I'm gonna find me a river, one that's cold as ice

And when I find me that river, Lord 'm gonna pay the price, oh lord

I'm goin' down in it three times, but Lord I'm only comin' up twice

She's long gone, and now I'm lonesome blue

She told me on Sunday she was checkin' me out

A long about Monday she was nowhere about

And here it is Tuesday, ain't had no news

I got them gone but not forgotten blues

She's long gone, and now I'm lonesome blue
