       E
I went down to the river to watch the fish swim by;
      A                                        B7         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.
     E    A             E  B7       E
shes long gone, and now Im lonesome blue.

  E
I had me a woman who couldnt be true.

She 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.
     E    A             E  B7       E

           A                                         B7        E
And when I find me that river, lord Im gonna pay the price, oh lord!
        B7                                                E
Im goin down in it three times, but lord Im only comin up twice.
     E    A             E  B7       E
Shes long gone, and now Im lonesome blue.
