Long Gone, Lonesome Blues
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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 doggone 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 he made me blue.
A man needs a woman 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 uptwice.
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.
He's long gone, and now I'm lonesome blue.
