Long Gone Lonesome Blues

Hank Williams

1950

 

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

But I got to the river so lonesome I wanted to die;

So then I jumped in the river, but the doggone river was dry.

 

Refrain:

She’s long gone and now I’m lonesome blue.

 

I had me a woman who couldn’t be true;

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

A man needs a woman that he can lean on,

But my leaning post ahs done left and gone.

 

Refrain

 

I’m gonna find me a river, one that’s cold as ice,

And when I find me that river, Lord I’m gonna pay the price;

I’m going down in it three times, but, Lord, I’m only coming up twice.

 

Refrain

 

She told me on Sunday, she was checking me out,

Along about Monday, she was nowhere about;

And here it is Tuesday, ain’t had no news.

I’ve got them “gone but not forgotten” blues.

 

Refrain
