Lyrics of Long Gone Lonesome Blues - The "Farmer Jim" Tapes by Hank Williams
verse
I went down to the river to watch the fish swim by
But I got to the river so lonesome I wanted to die, oh, Lord (and then)
And then I jumped in the river, but the doggone river was dry
chorus
She's long gone, and now I'm lonesome blue
verse
Well, I had me a woman who couldn't be true
She made me for my money and she made me blue
verse
A man needs a woman that he can lean on
But my leanin' post is done left and gone
chorus
She's long gone, and now I'm lonesome blue
verse
I'm gon' find me a river, one that's cold as ice
And when I find me that river, Lord, I'm gonna pay the price, oh, Lord
I'm goin' down in it three times, but Lord, I'm only comin' up twice
chorus
Oh, she's long gone, and now I'm lonesome blue
verse
Well, she told me on Sunday she was checkin' me out
Along about Monday she was nowhere about
verse
And here it is Tuesday, I ain't had no news
I got them gone, but not forgotten blues
chorus
She's long gone, and now I'm lonesome blue
Writer(s): Hank Williams Sr.
