[00:15.62]I went down to the river to watch the fish swim by; [00:23.50]But I got to the river so lonesome I wanted to die..., Oh Lord! [00:31.57]And then I jumped in the river, [00:33.85]but the doggone river was dry. [00:39.20]She's long gone, and now I'm lonesome blue. [00:51.29]I had me a woman who couldn't be true. [00:55.08]She made me for my money and she made me blue. [00:58.99]A man needs a woman that he can lean on, [01:02.68]But my leanin' post is done left and gone. [01:09.47]She's long gone, and now I'm lonesome blue. [01:28.93]I'm gonna find me a river, one that's cold as ice. [01:36.61]And when I find me that river, Lord I'm gonna pay the price, Oh Lord! [01:44.51]I'm goin' down in it three times, [01:46.72]but Lord I'm only comin up twice. [01:52.37]She's long gone, and now I'm lonesome blue. [02:04.53]She told me on Sunday she was checkin' me out; [02:08.48]Long about Monday she was nowhere about. [02:12.50]And here it is Tuesday, ain't had no news. [02:16.36]I got them gone but not forgotten blues. [02:22.98]She's long gone, and now I'm lonesome blue.
