Long Gone Lonesome Blues

E E E E I went down to the river to watch the fish swim by; A A E E But I got to the river so lonesome I wanted to die..., Oh Lord! B B E E And then I jumped in the river, but the doggone river was dry. E A E B E E She's long gone, and now I'm lonesome blue. E E She told me on Sunday she was checkin' me out; E E Long about Monday she was nowhere about. A A And here it is Tuesday, ain't had no news. E B* E E I got them gone but not forgotten blues. E A E B E E She's long gone, and now I'm lonesome blue. E E E E I'm gonna find me a river, one that's cold as ice. A A E E And when I find me that river, Lord I'm gonna pay the price, Oh Lord! B B E E I'm goin' down in it three times, but Lord I'm only comin up twice. E A E B E E She's long gone, and now I'm lonesome blue. E E She told me on Sunday she was checkin' me out; E E Long about Monday she was nowhere about. A A And here it is Tuesday, ain't had no news. E B* E E I got them gone but not forgotten blues. E A E B E E She's long gone, and now I'm lonesome blue.
