Lyrics

[Intro]
| E | A | E | B7 |
| E | - |

[Verse 1]
           E
I went down to the river to watch the fish swim by
E7         A                                     E
  But I got to the river so lonesome I wanted to die,
oh Lord
           B7
And then I jumped in the river,
                          E
but the doggone river was dry

[Chorus]
      E    A
She's long gone
    E       B7       E
And now I'm lonesome blue

[Verse 2]
  E
I had me a woman who couldn't be true
                                 E7
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

[Chorus]
      E    A
She's long gone
    E       B7       E
And now I'm lonesome blue

[Verse 3]
          E
I'm gonna find me a river,
one that's cold as ice
E7           A
  And when I find me that river,
                       E
Lord I'm gonna pay the price, oh Lord
              B7
I'm goin' down  in it three times,
                            E
but Lord I'm only comin' up twice

[Chorus]
      E    A
She's long gone
    E       B7       E
And now I'm lonesome blue

[Verse 4]
    E
She told me on Sunday she was checkin' me out
                          E7
Long 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

[Chorus]
      E    A
She's long gone
    E       B7       E
And now I'm lonesome blue
