I went down to the river to watch the fake wind by
But I [A] got to the river so long till my water [E] was dry
[B] jumped in the river but the doggone river [Em] was [E] dry
She's a long, [A] [E]
long time gone some day
I had me a woman, she made me farm the money and she made me blue
[A] A man needs a woman that he can lean on
[E] But my leanin' post is done, [B] left and gone
But I [A] got to the river so long till my water [E] was dry
[B] jumped in the river but the doggone river [Em] was [E] dry
She's a long, [A] [E]
long time gone some day
I had me a woman, she made me farm the money and she made me blue
[A] A man needs a woman that he can lean on
[E] But my leanin' post is done, [B] left and gone

_ _ _ Well, _ _ _ _ _ _ Hank Williams, that's sensational, my [Em] friend.
[G] That's very, very good.
I'm sure that'll sell equally as [F] many as the Lovesick Blues.
I hope so.
If it just sells half, I'll be awfully happy.
You bet your life.
Well, thank you very much.
It's not that I need the money where [N] them things sell or not.
The folks I owe me it awfully bad, don't they?
_ _ Thank you very much, Hank Williams, for dropping by this morning.
And it's always a standing invitation you have to come by whenever you're in Jackson
and say hello to all those folks up here at WSLI.
They got a whole bunch of folks that listen to our program asking for your records all the time
and we want [D] to keep them supplied.
So you keep them MGMs coming [D] our way and you come back to Jackson real soon [G] again.
Thank you [N] a lot, Jim, and I'd like to say thanks to you, to WSLI, to the boys here,
the [G] Southern Serenaders, the Pacific's Greatest Hill Band.
Thank you, boys.
[Em] Thank you a lot.
I enjoyed it.
And you boys come by the office sometime, come see us, huh?
We'll do it.
You can depend on it.
Thank you very much.
We'll pay you some good overall.
Good boy.
Thank you very much.
Lovely to see you. _ _ _ _ _
