Long Gone Lonesome Blues — текст песни (Hank Locklin)

I went down to the river to watch the fish swim by
But when I got to the river so lonesome I wanted to die oh Lawd
And then I jumped in the river but the doggone river was dry
I had me a woman she couldn`t be untrue
She made me for money and she made me blue
A man needs a woman that he can lean on
But my leanin` post is done and left and gone
She`s long gone and now I`m lonesome blues
[ piano ]
Gonna find me a river one that`s cold as ice
When I find me that river Lord I`m gonna pay the price oh Lawd
I`m goin` down in it three times but I`m only comin` back twice
She told me on Sunday she was checkin` me out
Along about Monday she was nowhere about
And here it is Tuesday ain`t had no news got them gone but not forgotten blues
She`s long gone and now I`m lonesome blues
