Long gone lonesome blues

I went down to the river to watch the fish swim by
But I got to the river so lonesome I wanted to die... Oh Lord!
And then I jumped in the river, but the river was dry
He´s long gone, and now I´m lonesome blue
I had me a man who couldn´t be true
He made me for my money and she made me blue
A woman needs a man that he can lean on
But my leanin´ post is done left and gone
He´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 I´m gonna pay the price, Oh Lord!
I´m goin´ down in it three times, but Lord I´m only comin´ up twice
He´s long gone, and now I´m lonesome blue
He told me on Sunday he was checkin´ me out
Long about Monday he was nowhere about
And here it is Tuesday, ain´t had no news
I got them gone but not forgotten blues
He´s long gone, and now I´m lonesome blue
But I got to the river so lonesome I wanted to die... Oh Lord!
And then I jumped in the river, but the river was dry
He´s long gone, and now I´m lonesome blue
I had me a man who couldn´t be true
He made me for my money and she made me blue
A woman needs a man that he can lean on
But my leanin´ post is done left and gone
He´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 I´m gonna pay the price, Oh Lord!
I´m goin´ down in it three times, but Lord I´m only comin´ up twice
He´s long gone, and now I´m lonesome blue
He told me on Sunday he was checkin´ me out
Long about Monday he was nowhere about
And here it is Tuesday, ain´t had no news
I got them gone but not forgotten blues
He´s long gone, and now I´m lonesome blue
