Artist: Hank Williams Title: Long Gone Lonesome Blues Written by 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
She's long gone and now I'm lonesome blue
I had me a woman who couldn't 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 leaning post is done left and gone
She's long gone and now I'm lonesome blue
I'm gonna find me a river one that's cold as ice And when I find me that river Lord I'm gonna pay the price oh Lord I'm going down in it three times but Lord I'm only coming up twice
She's long gone and now I'm lonesome blue
She told me on Sunday she was checking me out Along about Monday she was nowhere about And here is Tuesday Ain't had no news I got them gone but not forgotten the blues
