[Intro]
D A A D
[Verse 1]
D I sit here alone on the banks of the river D G D The lonesome wind blows the water rolls high D G D I hear a voice calling out there in the darkness D A D I sit here alone too lonesome to cry
[Chorus]
D Oh the water rolls high on the river at midnight D I sit on the shore to grieve and to cry D The woman I love she left me this morning D A D With no one to love or kiss me goodnight
[Instrumental]
D D A D
[Verse 2]
G D We met there one night by the banks of the river D G D Sat there holding hands and making our vows D G D Swore we'd never part and be happy forever D A D But a new love she's found she's gone to me now
[Chorus]
D Oh the water rolls high on the river at midnight D I sit on the shore to grieve and to cry D The woman I love she left me this morning D A D With no one to love or kiss me goodnight
