Long Gone Lonesome Blues Chords & Lyrics - Hank Williams

Intro: [E] , [A] , [E] , [B7] , [E]

I went [E]down to the river to watch the fish swim by;
But I [A]got to the river so lonesome I wanted to [B7]die..., oh [E]lord!
And then I [B7]jumped in the river, but the doggone river was [E]dry.
shes [E]long [A]gone, and now [E]Im [B7]lonesome [E]blue.

I [E]had me a woman who couldnt be true.

She made me for my money and she made me blue.
A [A]man needs a woman that he can lean on,
But my [E]leanin post is done [B7]left and [E]gone.
Shes [E]long [A]gone, and now [E]Im [B7]lonesome [E]blue.

Im gonna [E]find me a river, one thats cold as ice.
And when I [A]find me that river, lord Im gonna pay the [B7]price, oh [E]lord!
Im goin [B7]down in it three times, but lord Im only comin up [E]twice.
Shes [E]long [A]gone, and now [E]Im [B7]lonesome [E]blue.

She [E]told me on sunday she was checkin me out;

Long about monday she was nowhere about.
And [A]here it is tuesday, aint had no news.
I [E]got them gone but not for[B7]gotten [E]blues.
Shes [E]long [A]gone, and now [E]Im [B7]lonesome [E]blue.
