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

           F                                              C
But when I got to the river I was so lonesome I wanted to die.

           G                           F                 C   G
But when I jumped into that river, the doggone river was dry.

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

                                 C7
She made me for my money and she made me blue.

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

       G                              C   G
But my leanin' post, is done left and gone.

      C                 F               C               G              C
Well, she's lo..oo..ng, go..oo..ne, and no..ow..ow, I'm lo..on..nesome blue.

C
I'm gonna find me a river, one that's cold as ice.

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

          G                           F                        C    G
I'm goin' down in it three times, but Lord, I'm only comin' up twice.

      C                 F               C               G              C
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..

                           C7
along about Monday she was nowhere about.

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

  C                              G      C
I got them long gone, but not forgotten blues.

      C                 F               C               G              C
Well, she's lo..oo..ng, go..oo..ne, and no..ow..ow, I'm lo..on..nesome blue.
