E5 
I went down to the river, to watch the fish swim by 
      A5                                        E5 (Stop) E5 
But I got to the river so lonesome I wanted to die Oh Lord 
           B5                                            E5 
And then I jumped in the river but the doggone river was dry 
           A5        E5       B5       E5    
She's Long Gone and now I'm Lonesome Blues. 
 

  E5           
I had me a woman she couldn't be true           

Made me for my money and she made me blue 
  A5                                   
A man needs a woman that he can lean on 
       E5                    B5       E5 
But my leanin' post is done left and gone 
           A5        E5       B5       E5    
She's Long Gone and now I'm Lonesome Blues.

E5 
I'm gonna find me a river one that's cold as ice 
           A5                                         E5 (Stop)  E5  
And when I find me that river Lord I'm gonna pay the price Oh Lord 
          B5                                                 E5 
I'm goin' down in it three times but Lord I'm only comin' up twice 
                A5        E5       B5       E5    
Well she's Long Gone and now I'm Lonesome Blues.
