Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][G][D][A][D]

[Verse 1]
I went [D]down to the river
to watch the fish swim by
But I [G]got to the river so lonesome I wanted to [D]die,
Oh Lord!
And then [A]I jumped in the river,
but the doggone river was [D]dry
She's long [G]gone,
and [D]now I'm [A]lonesome [D]blue

[Verse 2]
I [D]had me a woman who couldn't be true
She made me for my money
and she made me blue
[G]A man needs a woman that he can lean on
But my [D]leanin' post is
done [A]left and [D]gone
She's long [G]gone,
and [D]now I'm [A]lonesome [D]blue

[Interlude 1]
[D][G][D][G][D][A][D]

[Verse 3]
I'm gonna [D]find me a river,
one that's cold as ice
And when I [G]find me that river,
Lord I'm gonna pay the [D]price, [G]Oh [D]Lord!
I'm goin' [A]down in it three times,
but Lord I'm only comin' up [D]twice
She's long [G]gone,
and [D]now I'm [A]lonesome [D]blue

[Verse 4]
She [D]told me on Sunday she
was checkin' me out
Long about Monday she
was nowhere about
And [G]here it is Tuesday, ain't had no news
I [D]got them gone but not
for[A]gotten [D]blues
She's long [G]gone,
and [D]now I'm [A]lonesome [D]blue
