I went down to the river to watch the fish swim by
When I [F] got to the river so lonesome I wanted [Cm] to [G] die
[C] And [Gm] I jumped in the river [G] but the doggone [C] river was dry
It's long [F] [C]
[G] and [C] lonesome blue
Thought I had me a woman, [Cm] she couldn't be true
[C] She made me from my money [Cm] and she made me blue
A man [F] needs a woman that he can lean on
[C] But my leaning post is done and left and gone
It's long [F] and [C]
[G] lonesome [C] blue
[F] [C]
[G] [C] [G]
[C] Gonna find me [G] a river, one that's cold [C] as ice
When [F] I find me a river, Lord I'm gonna pay [C] the [G] price
[C] [Gm] I'm going down in the three [G] times, Lord I'm only coming up [C]
twice
It's long and [F] lonesome [C] blue
[G] [C]
Well she told me on Sunday she was checking me out
Long about Monday she was no where [F] about
And here this Tuesday I ain't had no news
I [C] got them long [G] but not forgotten [C] blues
It's long
[F] and lonesome [C] blue
