E
I went down to the river just to watch the fish swim by.

           A                                              E
But when I got to the river I was so lonesome I wanted to die.

           B                           A                 E   B
But when I jumped into that river, the doggone river was dry.

      E                 A               E               B              E
Well, she's lo..oo..ng, go..oo..ne, and no..ow..ow, I'm lo..on..nesome blue.
CHORUS:
E
I had me a woman who couldn't be true.

                                 E7
She made me for my money and she made me blue.

  A                                   E
A man needs a woman, that he can lean on.

       B                              E   B
But my leanin' post, is done left and gone.

      E                 A               E               B              E
Well, she's lo..oo..ng, go..oo..ne, and no..ow..ow, I'm lo..on..nesome blue.
(INTERLUDE:) E A E B E #2.
E
I'm gonna find me a river, one that's cold as ice.

           A                                           E
And when I find me that river, Lord, I'm gonna pay the price.

          B                           A                        E    B
I'm goin' down in it three times, but Lord, I'm only comin' up twice.

      E                 A               E               B              E
Well, she's lo..oo..ng, go..oo..ne, and no..ow..ow, I'm lo..on..nesome blue.

She told me on Sunday she was checkin' me out..

                           E7
along about Monday she was nowhere about.

    A                                  
And here it is Tuesday, I ain't had no news.

  E                              B      E
I got them long gone, but not forgotten blues.

      E                 A               E               B              E
Well, she's lo..oo..ng, go..oo..ne, and no..ow..ow, I'm lo..on..nesome blue.
