Lyrics : hank williams
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
Shes long gone  and now Im lonesome blue
I had me a woman who couldnt be true
She made me for my money and she made me blue
A man needs a woman that he can lean on
But my leanin post is done left and gone
Shes long gone  and now Im lonesome blue
Im gonna find me a river  one thats cold as ice
And when I find me that river  lord Im gonna pay the price  oh lord
Im goin down in it three times  but lord Im only comin up twice
Shes long gone  and now Im lonesome blue
She told me on sunday she was checkin me out;
Long about monday she was nowhere about
And here it is tuesday  aint had no news
I got them gone but not forgotten blues
Shes long gone  and now Im lonesome blue
