  			       E 
I went down to the river, to watch the fish swim by 
      A                                        E(Stop)E 
But I got to the river so lonesome I wanted to die Oh Lord 
           B7                                            E 
And then I jumped in the river but the doggone river was dry 
           A        E       B7       E    
She's Long Gone and now I'm Lonesome Blues. 
 
  E           
I had me a woman she couldn't be true           
Made me for my money and she made me blue 
  A                                   
A man needs a woman that he can lean on 
       E                    B7       E 
But my leanin' post is done left and gone 
           A        E       B7       E    
She's Long Gone and now I'm Lonesome Blues. 
 
E A E B7 E 
 
E 
I'm gonna find me a river one that's cold as ice 
           A                                         E(Stop)  E  
And when I find me that river Lord I'm gonna pay the price Oh Lord 
          B7                                                 E 
I'm goin' down in it three times but Lord I'm only comin' up twice 
                A        E       B7       E    
Well she's Long Gone and now I'm Lonesome Blues.
