Hank Williams - Long Gone Lonesome Blues guitar chord

Long Gone Lonesome Blues

By Hank Williams Sr.

E

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

A E

But I got to the river so lonesome I wanted to die, Oh Lord

B7 A E

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

E A E B7 E

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 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, Oh Lord!

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

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

She told me on Sunday she was checkin' me out

Long about Monday she was nowhere about

And here it is Tuesday, ain't had no news

I got them gone but not forgotten blues

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