Hank Williams - Long Gone Lonesome Blues - Previously Unreleased Lyrics

I went down to the river to watch the fish swim by
But I got to the river so lonesome I wanted to die, ohh, Lord
And then I jumped in the river but the doggone river was dry

She's long gone and now I'm lonesome blue

Well, 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 leanin' post is done left and gone

She's long gone and now I'm lonesome blue

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, ohh, Lord
I'm goin' down in it three times, but I'm only comin up twice

'Cos she's long gone and now I'm lonesome blue

Well, she told me on Sunday she was checkin' me out
Around about Monday, she was nowhere about
Now here is Tuesday, I ain't had no news
I got them gone but not forgotten blues

But she's long gone and now I'm lonesome blue
