[D] [A]
[D]
I sit here alone on the banks of the river, where the lonesome [G] wind blows, the waters
[D] roll high.
I hear a [G] voice call out there in [D] the darkness, I sit here [A] alone, too lonesome
[D] to cry.
Oh the water rolls high on the river at midnight, passing on the shore to grieve
and to cry.
The woman I love, she left me this morning with no [A] one to love.
Kiss [D] me
goodnight.
[A]
[D]
We met there one night on the banks of the river, stood there [G] holding hands and
making [D] our vow that we'd [G] never part, be happy [D] forever.
But a new love [A] she's found, she's
[D] gone now.
Oh the water rolls high on the river at midnight, passing on the shore to grieve
and to cry.
The woman I love, she left me this morning with no [A] one to love.
[D] Kiss me goodnight.

Oh the water rolls high on the river at midnight, passing on the shore to grieve
and to cry.
The woman I love, she left me this morning with no [A] one to love.
Kiss [D] me
