I went down to the river to watch the fish swim by;

      F                                        G7         C
But I got to the river so lonesome I wanted to die..., oh lord!

           G7                                             C
And then I jumped in the river, but the doggone river was dry.

     C    F             C  G7       C

  C
I had me a woman who couldnt be true.

  F
A man needs a woman that he can lean on,

       C                   G7       C
But my leanin post is done left and gone.

     C    F             C  G7       C
