I went down to the riv-er to watch the fish swim by 
-4 -4  -4 -4  -4  -4  3 -3   -4  -4  
But I got to the riv-er so lone-some 
-4 -4   4 -3’ -36-46  -3   -2 
I want-ed to die-i-ie oh, Lord 
 -4   5 -4   -5   -5 -4   5  -4 
And then I jumped in the riv-er 
 -3  4   -4  -4   -4  4  -3’ -2 
But the dog-gone riv-er was dry

She’s long-------gone---- 
 5  -4-6-4    -3  4 -6 -4  -3’’ -3 6
And nowowow-- I’m lo-o-one some blu-es
   
-1  3  3 3  3 -3   -1    3   3   3  -3
I had me a wo-man she could-n’t be true 
  3   -3 -4  -4 -4  -4 -4   5  -4  -5  -4  -3
She made me for my mon-ey and she made me blue 
-3 -4   -4 -4  -4  3  -4  -4  -4  -4  -4 
A man needs a wom-an that he can lean on 
 -3  4  -4  -4   -43 -3  -3  -44  -3’  -2
But my lean-in’ post is done left and gone

She’s long-------gone----
 5  -4-6-4   -3 4 -6  -4  -3’’ -3 3~6 
And nowowow I’m lo-o-one some blu-es
   
I’m gonna find me a river, one that’s cold as ice 
And when I find me that river,  
Law’d I’m gonna pay the price. Oh Law’d,  
I’m goin’ down in it three times
But Law’d I’m only gonna come up twice
She’s long-------gone----
And now---- I’m lone---some blues
   
She told me on Sunday she was checkin’ me out 
Along about Monday she was nowhere about 
And her it is Tuesday ain’t had no news 
I got them gone but not forgotten blues 
She’s long-------gone----
And now-ow-ow I’m lo-o-one---some blu-es
